do we have an AABB chapter in Canada yet? #authorsagainstbookbans
CORRECTION.

The UCP has not banned just over 100 books from Edmonton Schools.

If this list is accurate, they have banned over 200.

Here is the list we have been provided.

1/2

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.

There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

Writers: you know when you tackle a troublesome draft and get that happy, humming feeling afterwards?
That's the good stuff.

Bravery is contagious.

We keep going.
But bravery is contagious.

There are people who think "maybe I should do something" who will look left and will look right, and if they don't see people doing things, they'll sit back down.

Make sure that they see people doing things.

Book banners LOVE to say they just want pornography out of school libraries.

They're lying.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.
