San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer Monday outlined a proposed policy intended to protect"banned books" and ensure they are accessible at all 33 county library branches.
"We are standing up for democracy and working to keep literature from being censored in San Diego County," said Lawson-Remer, vice chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors."A significant portion of the bans happening across our country are targeting books representing the voices and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC people. With this policy, we're protecting your right to read and fighting back against racism and bigotry.
" said they felt having those types of books on gender identity and sexuality for were not appropriate for children. It's not in the children's area. It's in the front of the library," Jones said."And also, I think it discounts the fact that there are many, many children with two moms, two dads. There are children that identify as LGBTQ. This is not something that should be shielded from children.
