This is so upsetting for many reasons but I have to say I am so upset to see that @FollettLearning provided student checkout information including student names 1/ 7 #tlchatnbcnews.com/news/us-news/s… From article - “London also secured subpoenas for Follett School Solutions, an education software company that Granbury uses to help manage its library collection, to obtain records for the dates and times that several titles were checked out from campus libraries.” 2/7

TY Publishers Weekly for writing about this. It’s important that we start calling out companies like ⁦@FollettLearning⁩ who put profits over doing what it right. Here are some of my thoughts while reading about this. ⁦@FReadomFighters⁩ publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in… First this requirement to rate books does not happen until April 2024 so why @FollettLearning is pushing publishers to rate their books by Sept 1 2023 is beyond me. #FReadom
