Thanks mate
I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.
Far right extremists have particularly targeted LGBTQ+ books for banning. As mentioned in the vid, 26% of all of the literature removed from public school libraries last year featured LGBTQ+ characters or themes.
This edition of Velshi Banned Book Club focuses on the homophobic banning of books and the effect of such banning on LGBTQ+ youth.
Book banning is influenced by officials at the state and local level.
In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the GOP state legislature are responsible for the state's infamous "Don't Say Gay" law. 🤬
In Illinois, Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Democratic state legislature have actually banned the banning of books. 😎
While there will always be minor exceptions, states run by Republicans are likely to pursue homophobic policies and states run by Democrats are going to be more LGBTQ+ friendly. That definitely includes attitude towards books.
BTW, are you registered to vote? Have you registered at your new address if you've moved since the last time you voted?
