The as-yet-unnamed Education Department coordinator will work to inform school districts that prohibiting books could violate federal law, among other issues. The Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights is announcing that to support its ongoing work to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ students and other underserved communities, it will appoint a new coordinator to address the growing threat that book bans pose for the civil rights of students, the White House said in the announcement. That coordinator will work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws. Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Your daily reminder that when they accuse us of banning books theyre referring to pornographic books which are offered to kids in schools across the country. For some reason CBS didnt provide examples with pictures
🤔 CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday MORE: Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, founders of Moms for Liberty, whose members campaign to sit on school boards, have been proactive in getting fiction books that discuss race and racism, slavery, sex and gender identity, banned from school shelves. https://twitter.com/i/status/1650131355013971969 The announcement is part of the administrations efforts to observe Pride Month and address the concerns surrounding LGBTQ rights. The administration is also unveiling plans to support mental health resources for those in the LGBTQ community and combat violence against the same groups. The administration has expressed specific concern over book bans, particularly those targeting books that feature LGBTQ communities, communities of color, and other groups. Book banning erodes our democracy, removes vital resources for student learning, and can contribute to the stigma and isolation that LGBTQI+ people and other communities face, the White House said. Bidens Comments on the Initiatives As president, I was proud to end the band on transgender troops in our military, sign the Respect for Marriage Act, strengthen the civil rights protections for LGBT Americans, and advance LGBT human rights around the globe, but our fight is far far from over, President Joe Biden said during a June 8 news conference. He outlined some of the details of his programs that his administration introduced and said they still had plenty of work ahead due to the hysterical and prejudice people around the country, saying he hoped to find a solution to violence and hate crimes targeting LGBTQ people. Its wrong that extreme officials are pushing hateful bills, targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors, Biden said. These are our kids. These are our neighbors. LGBTQ Americans, especially children, youre loved, youre heard, and this administration has your back. Book Ban Controversy The issue of book bans has concerned parents and school officials in recent months, with some more politically conservative states like Texas and Florida taking center stage in the debate. In April of this year, Officials in Llano County, Texas, declined to vote on closing libraries after dozens of books containing sexual and racial content that were previously banned were returned to shelves by order of a federal judge. The county commissioners voted unanimously to remove the issue from their agenda, keeping the libraries open with the books on the shelves. Just a month earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked the myths surrounding book bans in his home state, showing a video that included content graphic enough to make some those in attendance at his news conference concerned about repeating what they saw. A lot of whats been going on is an attempt to create a political narrative, DeSantis said. And its a false political narrative. This came about a year after Florida passed their Parental Rights in Education law, banning lessons on sexual topics for children in third grade or younger. Read more here...

LOL, yes, good, I am anti-book ban myself, lol. I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I dont care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits. - William S Burroughs

Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha How are you with sudden, uncontrollable outbursts of violence? Your answer is key. I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I dont care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do.
