- In addition, banning books interferes with parental rights to determine what their family can read.
- Parents: The bill protects my rights as a parent to offer my child a wide range of reading material.
- The bill also protects the right of all parents to challenge materials by providing a process to follow in the event they believe materials need to be removed from a library.
- Parents have always had the right to request that limitations be placed on their own child’s access to library materials; this bill retains that right.
Join Dan Kleinman @SexHarassed @SafeLibraries to learn more about The Right to Read Act. Under RTR Act, material that is educationally unsuitable or pervasively vulgar will NOT be removed. Parents lose the 1st Amendment right to challenge those materials. https://t.co/T1TwmHKzW3 pic.twitter.com/6G5YAdXuvZ

Sen. @BasedMikeLee just played the clip of American Library Association legal counsel Deborah Caldwell-Stone saying out loud that they want to provide sexually explicit books to minors while changing the narrative to promote them as "diverse materials."

General: The bill addresses a broadly popular, non-partisan topic: the right to read. Americans on both sides of the political aisle oppose censorship. An October 2023 IPSOS poll found that 78% of Americans are less likely to support a candidate who favors book bans. Recognizing the danger of censorship, legislators in Illinois and California have already passed “right to read” bills. Similar bills are being advanced in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kansas, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Mexico, and Washington. As a national leader in educational excellence, New Jersey should join these states in establishing protections for intellectual freedom. Please pass the bill.
Help protect the right to read & stop harassment of librarians!
