“In 2025, book bans were not sparked by concerned parents, & they were not the result of local grassroots efforts,” Sarah Lamdan, exec dir of #ALA’s Office for #Intellectual #Freedom, said in a statement. “They were part of a well-funded, politically-driven campaign.”

Lamdan told AP that activists circulate lists of targeted #books nationwide.

The #ALA usually features 10 #books, but this year has 11, with 4 tied for 8th place: Anthony Burgess’ dystopian classic “A Clockwork Orange,” Ellen Hopkins’ sibling drama “Identical,” John Green’s boarding school narrative “Looking for Alaska” & Jennifer L. Armentrout’s paranormal romance “Storm & Fury.”

#BookBans & attempted bans remain at record highs, acc/to the American #Library Association, & efforts to have titles removed have never been more coordinated or politicized.

The most challenged book of 2025, according to the ALA

The American Library Association says book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs. Efforts to remove titles have become more coordinated and politicized. The ALA on Monday released its annual list of the most challenged books in U.S. schools and libraries. Patricia McCormick's “Sold,” a novel about sex trafficking in India, topped the list. Other targeted books include “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “Gender Queer.” The ALA recorded challenges to 4,235 different works, nearly matching last year's record. The association notes that many challenges now come from government officials and activists rather than concerned parents.

If you live in Ohio, you will be reassured to know that legislators are devoting time and energy to the most pressing problems Americans are facing: drag shows, performances of the sick gender bending "comedy" As You Like It by that favourite of the elites, the wokester William Shakespeare, and the ever growing menace of women wearing sports bras in “physical proximity” to those who are not members of the wearer's household.

Going braless in Ohio could land women in jail under anti-drag bill | Opinion

No bikinis, halter tops or T-shirts. Ohio lawmakers aim to make Columbus the “Tehran on the Scioto” by banning drag show and controlling what women wear.

@evan I think the thing with "cultural issues" is that in the era of #CultureWars, the "ideas" and "dialogue" that the internet was once supposed to facilitate now have very real material consequences (disease, death, violence, disruption, state capture).

How much can we hope to connect and weave together bright community futures if we passively welcome the basest, greediest operators in through the same gates?
