Following National Trend, Wisconsin Lawmakers Introduce Book Ban
“Books are a powerful way of telling the stories of the world around us,” Agard says. “Kids of every background should have the right to learn about their culture and identity and experiences as well as (those) of other people. They should be able to see themselves reflected in those books, and they should be able to also see the experiences of other people who have been wronged as our society has grown and changed over generations.”

A newly introduced bill would remove any book that is deemed harmful or offensive to minors from public schools or libraries. And, it would force public schools and libraries to enact policies that ensure that minors do not view “harmful materials” on public computers.
The bill was introduced to the state Senate at the end of January by three Republican Senators: Andre Jacque of DePere, Romaine Quinn of Cameron, and Cory Tomczyk of Mosinee, none of whom responded to WORT’s request for comment. ...............................................
................So far, two groups have registered against the bill, the Wisconsin Library Association and the Wisconsin Council of Churches. The Wisconsin chapter of the National Association of Social Workers has also registered on the bill. Marc Herstand with the Wisconsin chapter says that, the way the bill is written, it could be used to prevent students from learning about important historical events.
“So nobody wants kids to see porn, okay,” Herstand says. “Let’s say that right at the beginning. However, the way the bill is written, we have some concerns that it would limit the ability of students of public schools to get information about the Holocaust, slavery, the Middle Passage, things that have been done to Native Americans, and other holocausts that have happened around the world.” ........................
