Censorship: Suburban Moms Fight Back

Reading Book Riot's THE NETWORK OF SUBURBAN MOMS WORKING TO STOP BOOK BANS warmed the cockles of my heart.

Red Wine and Blue is a 504(c)(4) corporation working to drive women in the suburbs into action for good. With 250,000 members strong, they’re mobilizing and empowering women who haven’t been or considered themselves activists to get to work in their own communities. They’ve streamlined and simplified ways to connect, to share information, and to contact politicians, stating their support of accurate, inclusive education. The latest focus? Book bans.

And doing it for the right reasons:

“This is not the 1950’s. Every kid should be equipped for the 21st century, and that means learning real history (not fairy tales) and respecting people across our differences. It means ensuring every kid feels safe to learn and thrive at school,” they write about their work against censorship.

Not so happy to see Indiana Senate Advances Ban on 'Harmful' Library Materials. 

Republican Sen. Jim Tomes of Wadesville said his legislation would remove educational purposes as a reason that public schools and libraries could claim legal protection for sharing “harmful material” with minors. That includes books and other materials deemed to be obscene, pornographic or violent.

The Republicans will not legalize pot but they have this guy who is obviously addled by some kind of drug. Porn in Indiana schools? Yeah, he has got to be on drugs.
