Watch who and what they are attacking first.

X post by Owl at the Library (@Sket ...), featuring a profile picture of an owl with a book and a "thinking face" and "magic wand" emoji, posted 11 hours ago. The post reads, "Madeleine L’Engle: this is why they want you illiterate." Below this, there is a quoted text in a white box that says, "The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people."

Madeleine L' Engle was way ahead of her time, and I read her books as a kid...'A Wrinkle in Time' had a huge influence on me. The movie was awful. The book was the first I ever read about a really smart girl who is---the main protagonist. The book is VERY relevant to the world today. It's not just a kid's book. It's still on my bookshelf and I still read it...because of the very ideas in her quote.

In 1963, the school did not know what to do with me, except move me from 5th grade into 12th grade. I said "No. I feel feel weird as it is." A 10 year-old girl in classes with 17 and 18 year olds? Who were also immature? That was not the best option.
