The Rise of Book-Ban Technology How AI tools like Class-Shelf Plus and Bookmarked are reshaping how schools review library books

‘Same Ingredients, Different Recipe’ in Proposed U.S. Book Ban House Resolution 7661, introduced on February 24, would withhold federal funds from public classrooms and school libraries alleged to have “sexually oriented material” on their shelves.

They're coming for our books again.

Introduced by far-right idiot Mary E. Miller and co-sponsored by 17 GOP congressmen, HR 7661 would use the hammer of federal funds to force schools nationwide to remove books the GOP doesn't like from library shelves.

Against a peach background the title reads "Rob Sanders on book banning." Below that is a quote from Rob that reads: “Sadly, I now know a lot about book banning...All of my nonfiction books have been challenged if not outright banned...The real impact is on readers who can’t find and read books that reflect themselves and/or their families, books that allow them to learn about and grow empathy toward people who might be different than them, and books that could empower them to create and live in a world that is informed and accepting of others.” Below that is: "Read more. Full interview available at: sarahsteinbacher.com/blog." On the right is a photo of Rob Sanders along with cover images for four of Rob's picture books: André, A Family of Readers, Book Comes Home, and Play Proud.
