Apologies for the Inconvenience

If you had problems viewing the Virtual Read Out, those issues have been addressed.

But what of the inconvenience of banned and challenged books? Do the school boards, parents, or “concerned individuals” ever apologize for limiting the First Amendment, for restricting education, or for judging the opinions of others?

As Banned Books Week draws to a close, remember that the war is far from over. The censors may lose a battle, but they haven’t surrendered the war.

Be Wary.

Be Vigilant.

Be Reading.

Imagine A World Without Books

It would look something like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It All Went Down

Several things happened this week:

School began in earnest.

Lightning hit my modem my in-laws’ modem.

My phone plan data almost maxed out.

What does this mean for you?

I’m adjusting to a new schedule and figuring out a good time to write since “whenever I feel like it” will no longer work.

I couldn’t get online to read all of the wonderful stuff you’ve posted on your blogs.

I couldn’t post anything new (even if I’d written anything, which I haven’t. Until now.)

But now, things are back to normal. That is, for a given definition of “normal.”

My data plan reset: I now have 10 gigs for the next 4 weeks.

My in-laws are working on fixing the modem.

I’ve set aside time both to read your blogs and write articles for my own. Hopefully, I’ll be back on the four-or-five-day schedule soon. It depends on my caffeine levels.

And now, have a random picture:
