I can’t quite see it yet but I hope this is the anthem when it comes.
"Now that I have won my freedom, like an eagle I am eager for the sky
And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Oh, and everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay"
So sayeth Saint Dolly

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

So to be clear, this book is unacceptable but grooming and trafficking 15 year-olds isn’t that bad? Just making sure I have it straight.
We have the newest casualty of the “parents rights," movement in Texas! And we can thank Sen. Angela Paxton’s “parental rights” school library bill (SB 13) for keeping Texas kids safe from Pretty Perfect Kitty Corn in Southlake, TX (Carroll ISD). @shannonhale.bsky.social
