Jonny checks back in on the efforts to ban LGBTQ+ books and
curricula around the country. He focuses on examples of
communities, librarians, and teachers pushing back against the
efforts to challenge representations of LGBTQ+ people and racial
minority figures. Across the stories covered, he notes that these
efforts do not effectively keep children and young adults from
knowing about LGBTQ+ folks, but do serve a bullying function in
subjugating and casting shame on minority identities.
