If you are actively or covertly trying to shutter public libraries in the name of your god, you are an ignorant asshole.

And while you think your god is telling you to shutter libraries but not telling the pedophile priests to sexually assault the most vulnerable members of our society, then you are worse than an ignorant asshole.

#AI Isn’t #BanningBooks in #Iowa #Schools. #Republicans Are.
Overstating the power of algorithmic systems only serves to benefit the tech companies behind them. This intersection of generative AI and Republican #authoritarianism is indeed disturbing. It is not, however, the presage of a future ruled by #censoring machines. https://theintercept.com/2023/08/16/ai-iowa-schools-book-ban/

#Illinois is the 1st state to ban #BookBans. #Schools or #libraries that do so could lose state funds. Book bans target stories by & about #PeopleOfColor & #LGBTQ & goes agst the #FirstAmendment. We must follow IL's lead & need to enact #legislation to put a ban on #BookBanning.

This week, a local bookstore gave away free copies of "The Hill We Climb" by Amanda Gorman, "The ABCs Of Black History" by Rio Cortez, & "Love To Langston" by Tony Medina, as a way to push back against #censorship in Florida schools. The #Freadom book giveaway was hosted by Books & Books, & paid for by Gorman & a local donor.

Several states are #banningbooks and criminalizing the teaching of controversial topics. What’s become verboten?

Just the threat of potential #banningbooks brings banning of books.
