#utleg passed hb29 which forces libraries to ban books based on excerpts, and prohibits the reading of the whole book in considering its value. Why not led people read the whole book? This video/thread helps to explain: People generally don’t ban the books once they read them…
People need to see this. A conservative, PAC-backed Lake Travis trustee explains her vote to retain Me, Earl, & the Dying Girl, describing how she was misled by out of context passages & how reading the book in its entirety changed her perspective on its adherence to policy.

I sent off my email this morning and urge everyone else to do the same. One note: don't just hit "send" on the form letter provided at the link. Add personal details. Share your story about being a reader/parent/book lover. Explain why you think HB 29 goes too far.
Stop the Purge! If hb29 is signed into law, classic, award-winning books may soon be purged from EVERY school library in Utah. Ask @GovCox to veto the bill: letutahread.org/veto. @JoshuaLisec @PaisleyRekdal @TempestWilliams @tianasmithbooks @BrandSanderson @YamileSMendez
