@catherinelhamon.bsky.socialI was “the feds” referred to in this article and I was very proud to assure that a hostile environment for students did not persist following book banning.

@catherinelhamon.bsky.socialI already enjoyed drinking Oatly. Now I love it more. I love the everyday action reminder for each of us: we have power when we advocate; we don’t need to accept government actions that harm us
@catherinelhamon.bsky.socialRead this thread. As a lifetime civil rights attorney and believer in our nation’s promise of fair and equal treatment, I am offended.
