A good while back on my other account, I posted about a READ poster from the #AmericanLibraryAssociation featuring KRS-One that I once saw hanging in a library window but could never find again.
I had found reference to it in a library archive, but no image of it online.
My wife texted this to me this morning.

“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.

#Florida, #Texas & #Utah are among the many states that have called for #books to be banned or passed restrictive #legislation. In #Iowa, an appellate court ruled earlier this month that the state can enforce a #law that limits #teachers from even talking about #LGBTQ+ topics with #students in kindergarten through the 6th grade & bans some books.
Last year, >90% of challenges arose from #activists & #government ofcls, acc/to the #ALA, compared to 72% in 2024.

…For decades, challenges to a given book came from a parent or another member of a local community. But in recent years, the #ALA has found, the trend shifted sharply to #government officials & such #conservative activists as #MomsForLiberty, who advocate “parental choice” [in reality, the group’s choice] in deciding what #schools & #libraries should make available.

Objections include #LGBTQ+ themes (“Gender Queer,” “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”), #SexualViolence (“Sold” & “A Clockwork Orange”) & use of #alcohol & #cigarettes (“Looking for Alaska”).
