LoL Friday Short: A Victory For Tolerance & Education
Episode 73
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
The Left of Lansing Friday Short this week celebrates a judge's ruling in which he dismissed a lawsuit over so-called "pornographic" books in Kent County's Rockford Public Schools District.
A right-wing Christian Nationalist group wanted to ban 14 books, most of which dealt with LGBTQ+ stories. The judge ruled the books as a whole have literary value.
It was a harsh defeat for those seeking to silence and erase marginalized voices in our nation's history and society.
It was a victory for freedom, and it's that very freedom that MAGA Christian Nationalists are hoping to destroy.
