People across the political spectrum trust school librarians and educators, but #HB1447 opens schools, teachers, and librarians up to penalties if any parent disagrees with their material. 🗣️ Stop trying to ban books. https://www.14news.com/2023/05/02/tri-state-community-members-respond-indiana-house-bill-1447/ #HoosierMast #Indiana
