From 'Banned In Boston' To Ethnic Studies In Arizona: Intellectual Freedom In America Today, Laura Quilter
Laura Quilter
This program will explore the meaning of Banned Books Week and what censorship means, as well as looking at what gets "banned" in America these days. Laura Quilter, a local librarian and information policy attorney, will lead a lively discussion of the law and politics of "banning books" -- from Comstockery through modern-day removal of identity studies curricula in Arizona and LGBT-themed children's books in public and school libraries.
