(27 Aug) - Judge rules parents can’t yank kids out of classes because they use books with gay characters. Children’s books about puppies and “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding“ are not “sex education.“ https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/08/judge-rules-parents-cant-yank-kids-out-of-classes-because-they-use-books-with-gay-characters/ #JudgeRuling #ParentsRights #ChildrensBooks #LGBTQRepresentation #EducationInclusivity #BookCensorship #Politics #News https://mastodon.sdf.org/@uspolitics/110962904944784613

R to @hkdc_us: In response to HK Public Libraries' #BookCensorship of at least hundreds of titles, #HongKongers are taking many initiatives, including buying from independent bookstores, keeping a list of library-censored books, & starting private & overseas collections. https://hongkongfp.com/2023/05/27/as-books-disappear-from-hong-kongs-public-libraries-some-rescue-titles-for-private-overseas-collections/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1662445311061643265#m

#BookCensorship @PENamerica & @pen_int express alarm at the ongoing removal of books from #HongKong Public Libraries. They remind the HK government of the right to access literature with a diversity of thought and opinion & call on it to end the removals. https://pen.org/press-release/pen-america-and-pen-international-denounce-book-removals-from-hong-kongs-public-libraries/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1662251376129261571#m

R to @hkdc_us: HK Public Libraries' #BookCensorship has lead to this project: The "HK DeCentral Library" aims to digitally preserve all HK-related books & periodicals. #HongKong citizens undertook similar archival efforts when #AppleDaily & #StandNews were shut down. [...]

Good overview of #BookCensorship at #HongKong Public Libraries. No one yet knows its full extent as HK government refuses to divulge info. The sleuthing of Ming Pao, The Collective, InMedia, HKFP et al shows at least hundreds of books have been removed. https://hongkongfp.com/2023/05/26/not-recommended-reading-the-books-hong-kong-is-purging-from-public-libraries/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1662033297805852672#m

#BookCensorship #CCP-owned Wen Wei Po is attacking Hunter Bookstore in #HongKong for promoting “anti-China chaos” via books & talks by opposition figures. The shop’s owned by former pro-democracy District Councillor Letitia Wong, who’s responded defiantly. https://bit.ly/3BJtBWK https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1660631582590337024#m

#BookCensorship @vawongsir’s cartoon: “Where’s my book?” Only the #NationalSecurityLaw on the shelves. #HongKong Public Libraries have removed hundreds of books for “endangering national security” but won’t say which or how many. John Lee says, “We won’t recommend bad ideologies” https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1659155664558604288#m

#BookCensorship The HK gov’t library authority’s previously said it’s “disposed of” books on #NSL grounds but won’t disclose which or how many as it’d “cause individuals, orgs or media to disseminate the books” & that’s “detrimental to national security.” https://hongkongfp.com/2023/04/26/hong-kong-govt-department-told-to-step-up-efforts-to-ensure-books-do-not-threaten-national-security/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1651215155668156416#m
