I agree with @KateMessner
Let's make this the new universal book challenge policy: Parents have every right to restrict what their own children are allowed to read. They have zero right to make those decisions for anyone else's kids. Ever.

We condemn—in the strongest terms possible—the violence, threats of violence and other acts of intimidation that are increasingly taking place in America’s libraries, including these recent threats directed at suburban Chicago/Lake County libraries. 1/2 news.yahoo.com/bomb-threats-…

Thank you, Mr. President. Many of the books being challenged now helped shape my thinking and informed me of different perspectives. I am proud to be a school librarian.
Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

70 years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & this narrative from Sarah Gudger, age 121, is just one amazing piece of it. go.loc.gov/j1ZG50OM6op #Juneteenth
