Batman and it’s gay cocreator
School officials in Metro Atlanta's Forsyth County canceled two talks by a children's book author last week after he used the word “gay” in a presentation to elementary school students about the history of the superhero character Batman.

It certainly seems as though these moral #crusaders want to expunge these #books from #libraries not because they are #pornographic in nature, but because these books threaten some of their fundamental #beliefs, such as the belief that #white, #cisgender, #JudeoChristian lives are somehow more important, and more central to the #American experience, than other lives.

Hopefully publishers and librarians will remember who was ready to sell them out and take their business elsewhere in the future.

Who's complaining about #school #library #books in #Florida?

"Of the roughly 1,100 complaints recorded in Florida since July 2022, more than 700 came from… two districts [that] make up less than 3% of the state’s total public school enrollment. About 600 of the complaints came from two people — a Clay County dad and a Pensacola high school teacher."

A complete joke. Not even a chance to represent my work and views. Everything just ignored to further maintain their narrative and rewrite of #history.”
