Happy Wishing Day and thank you to @kaaauthor for inspiring us to dream big and welcome everyone. My fifth graders wished for a new bike, a pet duck, steak with mashed potatoes, chocolate ramen, and--of course--world peace (among others).

The road to fascism is paved with center left so called thought leaders telling vulnerable people that they should chill out and rephrase their arguments so as to not offend those in power.

EVERY CHURCH AND PASTOR should have joined MLK in the fight for civil rights. They did not. They were wrong. History remembers. EVERY CHURCH AND PASTOR should be joining the LGBTQ+ community in the fight for civil rights. They are not. They are wrong. History will remember.

By nature, a reader is independent and fierce. The folks who want to ban books are not readers; they are wannabe oppressors. The reader will win.
