Delaware Representative Krista Griffith’s Freedom to Read Act Passes in the House
Idea Category: Education
Delaware Representative Krista Griffith’s Freedom to Read Act advanced out of the house with bipartisan support. Her bill would protect the rights of communities to access diverse books and educational materials in both public schools and libraries and establish a transparent process for challenges to materials. If signed into law, Delaware would join 6 other states who have enacted law to protect intellectual freedom and prevent censorship. “Libraries have always been a place where everyone, regardless of age, background, or belief, can freely explore ideas and access information. Unfortunately, over the past several years, we’ve seen a rise in attempts to remove books and censor content nationally simply because they present perspectives that some may disagree with, ” said Rep. Griffith. “The Freedom to Read Act is a balanced approach that allows community members to raise concerns through a clear and respectful process, while making sure books aren’t pulled from shelves just because someone disagrees with the views they contain.”
