Help get this book back to kids in Texas

Katy, Texas schools have pulled all copies of Angie Thomas’s best selling YA novel The Hate U Give from shelves. This came after a single complaint from a middle-aged white man who was appalled by reading the first 10 pages of the book and deemed it inappropriate for the students of the school. Rather than follow the process for book removal, as outlined by school policy, the book was unilaterally removed from all school library shelves.

Let's get copies of THE HATE U GIVE to the readers down in Katy, Texas.
Here's how: http://stackedbooks.org/2018/01/lets-donate-the-hate-u-give-to-katy-texas-readers-defy-the-books-censorship.html
