From The Comics Journal’s current week in links:
Literary freedoms news now, as politicians in Canada this week decided to take a leaf from the playbook of their friends to the south, with education officials in Alberta laying out plans to “determine the appropriateness” of books in school libraries, after a group of parents (surely not influenced by the work of US pressure groups) raised concerns about Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer, Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, Craig Thompson’s Blankets, and Mike Curato’s Blankets (all of which have previously been targeted in school libraries by US pressure groups) being available on the shelves.
Here is a link to the CBC article.
