Washington state Democrats move to ban so-called LGBTQ book bans. But it still allows book bans if Democrats don't support the content.
A person poses with books that have been the subject of complaints from parents in Salt Lake City in 2021. House Bill 2331 would have an impact on LGBTQ book bans in Washington state. prohibits schools boards from refusing to approve books and other educational materials, including library books, if the subject “relates to or includes the study of the role and contributions of individuals or groups that are part of a protected class as established in public school nondiscrimination provisions.
Though conservative parental groups and school boards have championed this cause, there has been a general agreement that some books are inappropriate for young students. They’re sometimes so graphic that when a parent tries to read from them at school board meetings, they are. Indeed, I can’t quote the objectionable material in this blog, yet it’s appropriate for a 12-year-old? But many Democrats disagree, arguing these books are important for youth they say are transgender.
But state Rep. Skyler Rude, R-Walla Walla, who is also an openly gay lawmaker, pushed back at the argument. He noted there is “confusion” over the topic. Democrats aren’t suddenly against so-called book bans. It’s why they stayed completely silent when left-wing views around race sensitivity motivated a classroomThe only reason Democrats are pursuing HB 2331 is to signal their support for the transgender community. It does not matter if transgender people even generally agree there is some material that isn’t appropriate for children.
