There's a feeling that comes with putting a challenged book face-out on a classroom display and waiting to see what happens.
These shirts are for that. Not for a week in September — for the whole year, and for the kind of teacher who thinks a kid should get to decide for themselves what's worth reading.
Some of them are funny. Some are plain. All of them are quiet enough to wear to a faculty meeting and loud enough that a student who needs to see it will see it.
Book challenges have become a routine part of the school year in a lot of districts. Whatever you make of that, the teachers standing closest to it are usually the ones with the least room to say anything.
A shirt isn't a policy position. It's a small, wearable signal that this room is one where reading is still the point.
Comfort Colors 1717 tees. 100% ring-spun US cotton, garment-dyed, heavyweight at 6.1 oz. Sizes S through 4XL. Soft when they arrive rather than soft in a year.
