#Bookbanners came for this #Colorado town. They didn’t anticipate #resistance.

#LGBTQ+ #titles topped the number of #bookbans in the past year, but a growing number of #grassroots #organizations are #rewriting the #story.

@jonathanwexler @GryphonSK Those books are probably involving authoritarians much smarter than Trump & not too lazy to read & understand.

Ban the GOP, not books!

@TonyStark It's hardly surprising, that only the United States ever had anti-literacy laws — as expected passed by the racist slaveholder states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, and Virginia, between 1740 and 1834, targeting black people.

That's not too unlikely, what today's Confedereds (like DeSantis, Abbott & their accomplices) are trying to hide from the nation.
