Georgia Republican lawmakers passed a law to make it easier to challenge school library books as inappropriate, but few people are using it.

    There has almost certainly already been a chilling effect from similar laws in Florida. Teachers cannot take chances: If they are fired for cause, they often have to move to another state to remain employable in their profession.

      I read something about how the uncertainty in banning vague topics is actually more harmful than a list of banned material. It’s left up to the teachers discretion and they end up overly cautious because they want to keep their jobs.
