OPINION: "At this time in our history when some politicians aim to pass laws and policies limiting a young person’s right to read books of their own choosing, the Tucson Festival of Books is indeed a timely celebration of access to diversity in literature," writes Judi Moreillon, a former Tucson-area school librarian.
OPINION: "Taxes are collected to fund the common good. When we pay state taxes, those monies are not for the upkeep of the road in front of only our home or business, nor for police and fire fighters to protect only our own family or property. Public tax funds are not intended to follow your child or grandchild to a private or parochial school," writes former school librarian Judi Moreillon.
OPINION: "Regrettably, our governor and Legislature’s historic underfunding for K-12 shows they are unwilling to invest in our students’ education. When voters clearly demonstrate our commitment to our K-12 students and educators, as we did by passing Proposition 208, it is unconscionable for the majority of representatives in Phoenix to cast aside our will," writes Judi Moreillon, an education advocate in Tucson.
