Revisiting "The Book"

So I somehow stumbled upon a conversation with a few of my students the other day about the whole book fiasco and I just wanted to reiterate how freaking proud I am of what you all wrote in those pages and that I lost my job fighting for your/our freedom of speech. I would do it again a thousand times and my only regret is not being able to get them published. Somehow, sometime I do believe they will get out there in the hands of those young adults that most need to know they are not alone, but I am learning that "my time" is not always the right time.
So again, thank you all so much for having the courage and depth to let your secrets/fears/desires/wants/feelings out into the light for others to see. That is a rare and beautiful step to take; one most adults will never have the guts to do.
Love to you all!!!!!!!!!
