College librarians converse out in opposition to current upsurge in makes an attempt to ban books

Nadra Nittle:

It is taking place in all places. I am based mostly in California and it is taking place in California, which is a really liberal state as nicely. There are some faculty districts right here who’ve anti vital race idea insurance policies, Ramona Unified College District in Southern California is an instance. And a few of these faculty districts, along with creating these insurance policies in opposition to race, are additionally, like I stated, focusing on gender focusing on sexuality.

However with race, they’re additionally going after, in some instances, books about historical past. So there was a guide about Martin Luther King within the march on Washington. In Tennessee, the group Mothers for Liberty stated that that violated the state’s new vital race idea coverage. There are books about Ruby Bridges, the little woman in Louisiana in 1960 who desegregated her public faculty. So they are going after matters and after topics that People have usually thought-about to be heroic.
