NEWS & RAPID RESPONSE
GLAAD releases Back to [Redacted]: A Guide to Battling Book and School
Censorship for Students, Parents, and School Staff
Back to [Redacted]
[link removed]
Last week, GLAAD released its Back to [Redacted] Guide for students,
parents, and school staff heading back to school in this time of
uncertainty and censorship. This Guide comes in response to the
93 anti-LGBTQ school policy bills aiming to restrict
everything from teaching materials and what teacher can say in class,
to the shocking ban of over 1,500 books nationwide.

Our Guide offers tips and tools on reporting anti-LGBTQ discrimination
at school, requesting targeted books, running for office with your
local school board, starting or joining a student chapter of the
American Library Association, and much more.
The Guide also includes reading and resources to support teachers and
librarians who are targeted in their schools. Read the full
Guide here.

SOCIAL MEDIA
GLAAD calls on Meta and Twitter to take action on 'Libs of
TikTok' amid the account's harmful spread of anti-trans misinformation
Keeping social media safe for LGBTQ people
[link removed]
GLAAD is urging Meta and Twitter to suspend the 'Libs of
TikTok' account after multiple posts spread anti-LGBTQ hate and
misinformation. The account, run by Chaya Raichik, repeatedly
promoted a lie about gender-affirming care at Boston Children's
Hospital. GLAAD shared this statement about the impact of activity
like Raichik's:
"Libs of TikTok is synonymous with maliciously targeting LGBTQ
organizations, people, and allies by posting lies, misinformation, and
blatant hate. Meta and Twitter continue to profit from accounts like
'Libs of TikTok' as doctors and staff members of Boston
Children's Hospital, and other providers of healthcare to
transgender people, receive death threats and hate. These [social
media] companies are complicit in hosting content which expresses
malicious falsehoods and which incite anti-LGBTQ hate."
Thankfully, the Department of Justice is now investigating threats
directed at Boston Children's. Read GLAAD's full
statement here.

Earlier this year, GLAAD and partner organizations released this
PSA featuring Amber Briggle, the Texas mom, and her transgender
teenager, Max. The PSA reminds the world of just how vulnerable our
transgender youth are and how much they need vocal allies. Kids like
Max are viciously targeted by anti-transgender politicians and school
boards across the country every day.
