Censorship battles’ new frontier: Your public library
Conservatives are teaming with politicians to remove books and gut library boards
Llano joins a growing number of communities across America where conservatives have mounted challenges to books and other content related to race, sex, gender and other subjects they deem inappropriate. A movement that started in schools has rapidly expanded to public libraries, accounting for 37 percent of book challenges last year, according to the American Library Association. Conservative activists in several states, including Texas, Montana and Louisiana have joined forces with like-minded officials to dissolve libraries’ governing bodies, rewrite or delete censorship protections, and remove books outside of official challenge procedures.
Imagine that in TEXAS freedom for me not for thee !!!! should be the new GOP conservatives slogan
