Students from Granbury ISD in Granbury, Texas are speaking out against a decision by their school board to remove 130 titles from school library shelves for review. They are selling anti-censorship t-shirts and are donating proceeds to the Freedom to Read Foundation

One of the students, Kennedy Tackett, explained the design of the shirt. “The term radical gaslighter comes from the school board meeting. Students and community members spoke up, and those are the names the superintendent decided to use afterwards. We wanted to take that back and use it to empower.”

The “Radical Gaslighter” t-shirts may be ordered through Custom Ink.

Watch Kennedy and other students and parents address the school board on this twitter thread courtesy of Christopher Tackett.
