It is sort of genius though 😬 the hypocrisy laid bare in how we romanticise historical protesters & revolutions that have got us to where we are today - even the very violent ones - but hate anything that inconveniences us now

People with no literacy background telling kids graphic novels aren’t real books and that they need to read “chapter books” is frustrating.

Research from the University of Oregon found that comic books averaged 53.5 rare, or more complex, words per 1,000. That's more than children's books which average 30.9 and even adult books at 52.7. One study found that graphic texts promote learning and better recall.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.
