Dear hans ,
An Arizona school board has voted to censor biology textbooks in order to keep facts about abortion and contraceptives out of lessons on reproduction. The Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board hasn’t decided how to remove the information, but has considered literally ripping pages from the books.
An ultra-right wing religious group prompted the board’s actions by complaining that the content violates state law. State officials and the American Civil Liberties Union have shown these claims to be false.
Negative reactions to the censorship plan have caused the school board to put off making a final decision.
Don't let conservatives bully this school board. Tell board members that you support students' rights to an unbiased education!
