I appreciate the hell out of my state's Lt Governor getting proactive about banned and challenged books and going on a Banned Books Reading Tour so people can have conversations about these books. And today the tour hit the AP! #bannedbooks #gaypenguins

@jessamyn This is a great response - get the books out there and have a discussion. Exactly the opposite of what the book-banning weirdos want.

@ianhecht Exactly. We have an odd situation in Vermont where we have a Republican Governor (mostly doing conservative judicial things but not a homophobe or transphobe afaict) and a very liberal Ly Gov so it's good to see him really hustling on this.

@jessamyn VT gets it in so many ways. No wonder my daughter and SIL have landed there, and now bought their first house!

@jessamyn anyone who wants to ban a book needs to submit a detailed 1 page book report and explicitly point out the offending passages.

@luvadergolder They cheat off of one another! I have seen some very very terrible power points that were just basically "the dirty parts" photocopied out of hundred page books
