Pennsylvania school district trying to ban any written expression not created for school purposes. [View all]

Assigned report on Abe Lincoln? ✅
Invitation to your birthday party. ❌

Read it and weep:

thefire.org
Alarming proposal would punish K-12 students for any written communication unrelated to class
