Banned Websites Awareness Day http://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/bwad is Wednesday, October 3rd and Banned Book Week is Sept. 30th - Oct. 6th. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek
Every year I post about Banned Book Week (this year celebrating 30 years). This year I encourage teachers to celebrate the freedom to read books that have been challenged and access websites that were once blocked (i.e. YouTube). If you are seeking books or resources that have been banned to help celebrate the freedom to read, be in touch with me. I have several resources. This is a great way to teach about First Amendment rights (http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/censorshipfirstamendmentissues)
