ACLU Sues Missouri School District Over Book-Banning Policy
« on: December 08, 2022, 06:06:54 pm »


The Missouri chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing a school district for its book reviewing policy that immediately removes challenged books following any complaints.

The ACLU Missouri is suing Independence School District (ISD) on behalf of four parents alleging that the policy “restricts their access to ideas and information for an improper purpose and without any prior notice,” violating their First Amendment rights. The policy details that if a book is flagged for “objectionable” material, it is immediately removed pending review by a committee without any process to appeal the final decision.

Which books were removed that gave rise to the ACLU's objection?  Dollars to donuts, they're all "groomer" books.

 :pondering: is there some reason these four parents can't buy these special books for their children themselves or is it simply that they feel the need to force these special books on those that don't want them? In a perfect world the school district would invite these four parents to depart if they can't keep from forcing their special values on others.
