Yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor imposed a nationwide “Don’t Say Gay” effect—letting parents opt kids out of LGBTQ+ lessons and pressuring schools to erase queer voices.

An image featuring a text box with a tip from the AASL. The text suggests ways to entice students to collaborate by asking them which standards they like and offering creative idea(s) like a BreakoutEDU or escape room session. It includes a signature from Sarah Somsbury, DeKalb County School District. The background is a gradient of purple hues, and there is a watermark with the AASL logo at the bottom right.

This means no money to IMLS for libraries, museums and archives. State libraries depend on the Institute of Museum & Library Services “grants to states” for all LSTA local grants. We need this funding to provide library service.
