Tell Your Representatives: Vote NO on a National Book Ban!

Denounced by the American Library Association, the manipulatively titled “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act” proposes legislation to withhold federal funding if schools do not comply with the government’s opinion of what children should or should not be allowed to read.

Theocrats, plutocrats, autocrats, all itching to tear down the world and rebuild it in their likeness. When did democracy go out of style? It's no wonder the USA is going to shit, big money is fanning the flames of fascism from within. We have our own sectarian crap to contend with, yet we're spending billions to supposedly rid other countries of theirs? WTAF

Following up on Alberta's book ban legislation, CBC used Access to Information requests to compile an updated list of banned books. [1]

Last fall I posted about the initial list - which was criticized by Danielle Smith even though her legislation created it. [2]

I am sad to see graphic novel versions of Albert Camus in the list as his work greatly influenced me as a teen.
