[ [link removed] ]Grandparents For Truth Held a Training Session for New Club Leaders

[ [link removed] ]People For the American Way Blasts Utah Book Ban
Following news that [ [link removed] ]Utah has imposed a statewide ban outlawing the
presence of 13 books in public schools, including titles by such
well-known authors as Margaret Atwood, Judy Blume, and Sarah J. Maas,
People For the American Way President Svante Myrick released the following
statement:
“This statewide book ban is alarming and devastating for millions of
students in the state of Utah. Many of these titles have been beloved by
young people for decades and have only now come under fire. We know that
book bans and censorship are way out of step with the beliefs of most
parents and it’s on all of us to call out the harm they do to kids.
Along with concerned parents and educators in Utah who are speaking out
against this draconian ban, we’re urging state lawmakers to reverse
their decision and give Utah kids the freedom to read, learn and grow
that they deserve.”
