A "read banned books" sign on the wall at Ken Sanders Rare Books in Salt Lake City on January 16, 2020.Utah’s House of Representatives seems convinced that our state’s schools are riddled with “pornographic or indecent material.”
Now, trying to eliminate blatant political books might seem OK with you; we do not want our teachers’ politics to be too apparent in the classroom. However, I would like you to take a few seconds to think about it before moving on with your day, accepting this as just another bill we should quietly accept.
This law also targets titles such as “Out of Darkness” by Ashley Hope Perez and “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander. These books have no pornography, and the only indecent material between their pages are depictions of minority experiences; some in the halls of power would like us never to entertain them.
