    • Abstract:
      This issue's Featured Article is bold! Readers are challenged to be advocates with loud voices, ready to push back on current legislation intended to silence voices in our classrooms and on our bookshelves. The author provides readers with an overview of laws and legislation currently impacting teachers and provides ideas for what you, as an educator, can do as a response. This includes innovative ideas for what reading and thinking can look like, proposing some new "literary laws" that you might apply in the face of censorship efforts that affect your teaching life.
