“Librarians in public schools in Charlotte County, Florida, were instructed by the school district superintendent to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries.”

This is a must read from the always informative Judd Legum.

@StableGeniusLib I'm reminded of this piece by @neilhimself , Bryan Talbot and Mark Buckingham from AARGH!( Against Rampant Government ), published against Clause 28(a Thatcherite plan that was almost identical to ' plan) by 's short-lived company Mad Love in 1988

@jlroberson @StableGeniusLib @neilhimself For any interested, I chased down the quote referenced in the last panel: https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1988/feb/16/local-government-bill-1#S5LV0493P0_19880216_HOL_481 . I can’t tell from those minutes (without considerably more reading) whether the amendment passed (and whether it exists in law today). If you know, I’d be interested.

@apricots @StableGeniusLib @neilhimself It passed as part of the Local Government Act. It was repealed by Scotland in 2000, and England and Wales in 2003. You'll notice how long Tony Blair was in power before it was repealed btw
Shocking how similar this thing was to now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28

@jlroberson @StableGeniusLib @neilhimself ah, thanks. Not raised in the UK, so didn’t have the faintest idea where to start search-term wise.
