Während der #DragBan & #bookban in #Texas zunächst weiter blockiert wird und daher nicht in Kraft treten kann, gibts schlechte Nachrichten: ein Urteil des texanischen Supreme Court, dass ohne dies näher zu begründen, bisherige Blockaden des Verbots von #trans Healthcare für Minderjährige aufhebt. Damit treten die jetzt leider in Kraft.
Minderjährige die bereits Medikamente erhalten sollen diese jetzt schrittweise absetzen.

"PEN America Index of School Book Bans – Fall 2022"
https://pen.org/index-of-school-book-bans-2022/
Die USA sind auf dem Weg in den Faschismus.
Ich werde mich mal per E-Mail an eine der in dieser Liste genannten Countys wenden und mich dort über den dortigen Book Ban beschweren. In klaren Worten, aber nicht beleidigend.
Ohne Nennung meiner postalischen Anschrift hier in Deutschland. Meinen Nachnamen kürze ich in meiner Mail besser ab. Ich bin besser vorsichtig.

A teacher in Georgia, U.S.A was just fired for reading the book, My Shadow Is Purple (video of the book being read), to her 5th grade class. It uses colors to convey the fact that people are not all the same and that life is better for everyone when we all get to be who we are.

I love this.
Wait till they find out that ChatGPT makes up books and atributes them to existing authors and that they're probably banning non-existent books.

According to the Globe Gazette, the #schoolboard of Mason City, #Iowa has begun leveraging #AI technology to cultivate lists of potentially bannable books from the district's libraries ahead of the 2023/24 school year. The result?

Is everyone in the south OK? Since when is kissing a sexual situation? Seriously, you all need to stop looking at #lgbtq people as sex acts instead of human beings. The problem is you, not a book that’s LGBTQ. #bookban #heartstopper

255 followers · 605 posts · Server saskodon.caHey conservatives! You are not the only parents. I *want* my kids to read controversial & banned books. I want them to get up close & personal with experiences outside their own WASPy middle-class upbringing. I want them to be uncomfortable & make up their own minds.
So tell your own kids what they can read, but hands off the school library, and hands off the public library, or you infringe on *my* parents rights to raise educated, empathetic kids.
