How to Beat a Book Ban

(MODS - I don't think this is PR, but if I am wrong, please move)

From The Guardian:

How to Beat a Book Ban: Students, Parents, and Librarians Fight Back

A story about three high school librarians battling book bans in the United States. My favorite bit:

Quote:
“I just have so much admiration for the kids who pick that book off the shelf, walk through a library full of other teenagers, and come up to the circulation desk, to me, this 62-year-old woman, who they probably don’t know very well, some might not know me at all,” Hickson said, noting that the book’s cover illustration is a pride flag.

“Every time a kid hands you a book that they’ve chosen to read, they’re handing you a little insight into themselves. I admire the backbone that it takes for a 14, 15, 16-year-old to hand you This Book is Gay.”
