#bookbanning This is a really shocking case. It's more likely to happen in America but the fact that it's happening in a UK school should be of concern. And the concern keeps piling up. Apparently the head teacher of this so called school's only reference to 'Room 101' is through the tv show. 🫨

School library debates are moving into software.
AI tools are now flagging “controversial” books before anyone reads them.
This changes everything about how collections are reviewed.

A quotation from **Madeleine L'Engle**

They're coming for our books again.
Introduced by far-right idiot Mary E. Miller and co-sponsored by 17 GOP congressmen, HR 7661 would use the hammer of federal funds to force schools nationwide to remove books the GOP doesn't like from library shelves.

Against a peach background the title reads "Rob Sanders on book banning." Below that is a quote from Rob that reads: “Sadly, I now know a lot about book banning...All of my nonfiction books have been challenged if not outright banned...The real impact is on readers who can’t find and read books that reflect themselves and/or their families, books that allow them to learn about and grow empathy toward people who might be different than them, and books that could empower them to create and live in a world that is informed and accepting of others.” Below that is: "Read more. Full interview available at: sarahsteinbacher.com/blog." On the right is a photo of Rob Sanders along with cover images for four of Rob's picture books: André, A Family of Readers, Book Comes Home, and Play Proud.
