Talk about L is for LEAP. How “Pride Puppy!” - a children’s alphabet book - came to the center of a SCOTUS case w/ high stakes for access to books & education, involves "a pretty disturbing interpretation," says @robinstevenson.bsky.social. The "backlash is such evidence of need for these books."
Velshi Banned Book Club: “Pride Puppy!” by Robin Stevenson
“Pride Puppy!” by Robin Stevenson is a rhyming alphabet book. With brightly colored illustrations, it tells the story of a puppy that gets lost during a Pride parade. “Pride Puppy!”, despite its cute premise and beautiful pictures, is at the center of a Supreme Court case happening right now. A small group of Maryland parents have sued over exposing their children to LGBTQ+ inclusive books like “Pride Puppy!” at their public school. As outlandish as it may seem to center a children’s book in such a high profile, so much is on the line for authors, for access to literature, and for families like the ones portrayed at Pride in this children’s book.

Breaking News: Germany classified the right-wing Alternative for Germany party as an extremist group, giving intelligence officials more tools to monitor it.
Far-Right AfD Is Labeled Extremist by Germany’s Intelligence Agency
The designation is certain to inflame debates over whether the party should be banned, though some polls show it to be the most popular in the country.

On 27th April 1994, Black South Africans voted in a democratic election for the first time. Days later, Nelson Mandela was elected president, ending decades of brutal apartheid rule in South Africa.

As I get ready to vote, I found it disappointing that only two (Conservative and Animal Protection Party) of the five candidates running in my district have email addresses where I can reach out to ask about their positions on topics important to me. I have reached out to those two.
