Oklahoma Revokes License of #Teacher Who Gave Class #QRCode to #BrooklynLibrary in #BookBan Protest
A former public high school teacher in Oklahoma had her teaching license revoked by the State Board of Education Thursday for providing students a link to a list of banned books posted online two years prior
By Associated Press, Aug. 23, 2024
"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 #SummerBoismier, 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.
“I will not apologize for sharing publicly available information about library access with my students,” the former teacher posted on X. “My livelihood will never be as important as someone’s life or right to read what they want.'
[...]
"Teachers in public schools across the country continue to face scrutiny at the local and state level as lawmakers in Republican-led statehouses push forward with book bans and restrict curriculum on issues related to race, gender, and sexuality such as in #Iowa and #Utah. "
