The conference committee adjourned for today without arriving at a compromise version of H. 3728, the classroom censorship bill. It's not over yet. Please keep calling and emailing these 6 lawmakers. action.aclu.org/send-message…
Sen. Jackson raises a concern that this bill opens the door to lawsuits and spurious complaint processes from parents who don't want their children learning about, for example, the true cause of the Civil War.
We are still in the fight for you! It is your hard work that creates our workforce here in South Carolina! We see you, support you, and most of all advocate for you! Here are our apples!!! Happy Teachers Appreciation Week!!! (Photo Credit - Element 5 Digital) #notoh3728#thanks

We cannot allow a destructive agenda that would attack education through banning books to undermine our #freedomtolearn. Join us at Barnes & Noble at Magnolia Mall in Florence, S.C., 5:30-7PM, to learn how we can activate against book banning.
We are the majority. An overwhelming 71% of voters reject book bans currently raging across the country. Join the meet-up at Columbia's newest book store that is dedicated to selling banned books to learn how we can activate against book banning. #FreedomtoLearn#protruthsc
