Although Harford County advocates just won an appeal to keep the banned book ‘Flamer’ on school library shelves, we know the HCBOE (Board of Education) won’t give up on book-banning. And groups like Moms for Liberty will continue to promote dangerous book bans, here and nation-wide. The Harford County Board of Education will have a special virtual meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 4 pm. We’re asking all of our AAUW members to send written comments (it’s a virtual meeting) to the board letting them know where we stand. Some ideas for public comment:
accept the state Board’s decision
don’t waste taxpayer money taking this to circuit court
follow the Freedom to Read Act
do what’s best for students instead of your own political agenda
