The majority of people believe that a good education is crucial because it lays the path for future social, professional, and personal growth.
However, in the past year, the GOP has intensified its comprehensive attack on what teachers are permitted to say or teach

in schools about equity and inclusion, racism, gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, and American history.
According to a Washington Post investigation, 137 rules affecting what children may study and do in the classroom have been approved by 35 states.

Additionally, more than 2,532 individual books are being banned in the United States, affecting 1,835 unique book titles, which represents the highest number of book bans ever. uniteagainstbookbans.org

We can only agree with the American Library Association (ALA) president when she said: “The unprecedented number of challenges we’re seeing already this year reflects coordinated, national efforts to silence marginalized or historically underrepresented voices

and deprive all of us – young people, in particular – of the chance to explore a world beyond the confines of personal experience,” Republican extremists imitate Nazi Germany by outlawing literature.

The question is: When will they cease copying the actions of the Nazis?
OR as Heinrich Heine wrote: “Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too.”?
