Oklahoma’s education board has revoked the license of a former teacher who drew national attention during surging book-ban efforts across the U.S. in 2022 when she covered part of her classroom bookshelf in red tape with the words “Books the state didn’t want you to read.”
The decision Thursday went against a judge who had advised the Oklahoma Board of Education not to revoke the license of Summer Boismier, who had also put in her high school classroom a QR code of the Brooklyn Public Library’s catalogue of banned books.
An attorney for Boismier, who now works at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York City, told reporters after the board meeting that they would seek to overturn the decision.
its very telling that they want children to not only not have access to these materials, but not know they they are be prevented from seeing those materials.
kind of horrifying… very weird ,cult-like behavior from conservatives.
Right? This is some legitimate dystopian shit.
It is called the bible belt and as a gay man that grew up there, let me tell you, it is some scary shit. Thanks to the people there still fighting the good fight.
Brainwashing
Also its highly likely that all these children have access to the internet anyways and can access all of it and much more.
How do they know it exists from their advertised and curated algorithm bubbles of proprietary app social media?
