Jenny Z., This Puzzle Piece<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Free_Press</span></a></span> </p><p>Quote from the article:</p><p>""""<br>Cobb County, with 106,000 students, said Tuesday that 20 libraries had contained “Flamer” by Mike Curato or “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews, or both. “Flamer” is a graphic novel about a boy who is discovering he is gay and how he is treated at summer camp. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” contains some discussion of sex and a lot of profanity, but is mainly about two high school boys who befriend a girl dying of cancer. Both were among the most challenged books of 2022, according to a list published by the American Library Association.<br>""""</p><p>One of the most important jobs of public schools is to teach children how to protect our democracy from religious zealots and fascists and others who use well known strategies to threaten all that is truly good in life, like love and compassion. And that's why these authoritarian types work overtime to dismantle public education.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/saveourschools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saveourschools</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/saveourlibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saveourlibraries</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/saveourdemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saveourdemocracy</span></a></p>

RudieRVA 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇯🇴<p>The banning and removal of books from libraries, and the privateization of libraries entirely, across the country, is one of the most disturbing turn of events since the rise of anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers during the pandemic. Suffering and oppression flourish when a country’s people forget the attrocities of the past. The GOP war on facts may not be as severe in Virginia thanks to the Senate being in friendly hands but individual counties and cities still have a lot of leeway to decide what books people have access to.
