Oklahoma’s education board has revoked the license of a former teacher who drew national attention during surging book-ban efforts across the U.S. in 2022 when she covered part of her classroom bookshelf in red tape with the words “Books the state didn’t want you to read.”
The decision Thursday went against a judge who had advised the Oklahoma Board of Education not to revoke the license of Summer Boismier, who had also put in her high school classroom a QR code of the Brooklyn Public Library’s catalogue of banned books.
An attorney for Boismier, who now works at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York City, told reporters after the board meeting that they would seek to overturn the decision.
thought experiment:
if everyone in oklahoma ceased to exist, would the world be a better place?
No, this teacher is in Oklahoma and she is trying to make the world a better place
yes but for all the conservatives we’d lose, it might still be a net gain.
She’s actually in New York now apparently.
