Summer Boismier's fight against censorship began in her classroom, when she covered her bookshelf in red tape that bore the words “Books the state didn’t want you to read.” She also gave students a QR code link to the Brooklyn Public Library , which provides access to a variety of banned books.
Oklahoma State Board of Education voted unanimously to formally revoke her teaching license, stripping her livelihood.
In addition, Boismier urges people to use public libraries, call legislators, attend and speak at school board meetings, correct mis- and disinformation and last, but certainly not least this election yearvote responsibly. As she so eloquently put it: “It is up to us to keep the words, keep the faithand keep it up.”.
