Read Across America

Malala books are powerful

(as seen on Facebook)

In my life, I’d use a different turn of phrase. I’d most likely substitute tools for weapons. But in Malala’s life, the act of seeking an education was radical and law breaking. She saw books and learning as tools, but also as weapons: weapons to fight the good fight, tools to achieve great things.

The pen is mightier than the sword- and so is the desktop publisher. What remains is the reader. If the reader is taught to think and analyze, to seek understanding, then the book itself can be powerful.

  1. But ignorance must be fought against–so I like “weapon.” We have to fight the creep of ignorance and blatant stupidity (writes the gal who has been in a fury against the stupid JBS and Green Bay bishop about Common Core for the past 2 weeks).
