Calls for book bans are quickly becoming more and more common across Ohio. Just in the past school year, at least four books have been pulled from the shelves at the Hudson City Schools District.
The books, 642 Things to Write About, A Girl on the Shore, Gender Queer and Lawn Boy, all contain language that has been quoted as"inappropriate,""offensive," or"sexually perverse."
Each book was pulled down for review. Lawn Boy was reinstated for library reading, A Girl on the Shore was removed entirely, and Gender Queer is currently being debated. "That means being prepared for diverse and changing world, so learning to respect each other across our differences," she continued."That means being willing to learn other perspectives that may not necessarily be your own."
Her efforts have only been intensified since House Bill N.O. 327 was introduced by state Rep. Sarah Fowler Arthur . The bill has changed significantly from public outcry on the vagueness of what is a"divisive concept," with some citing that under the bill – slavery, the Holocaust and LGBTQ+ literature – could be seen as offensive. The bill removed the term divisive concepts and is now moving forward with the removal of “promoting certain concepts.” In original language of the bill, it stated that one could not teach the that United States was inherently racist, or had racist beginnings.
