Here is a must-read post from children's author Maggie Tokuda-Hall on how Scholastic offered to distribute her book — all she had to do was remove all mention of racism.
Sure, they're banning books in Tennessee and Texas. But it's not just the books that get published and then banned from the library. It's all the books that don't get published in the first place.
Those banning books know publishers like Scholastic pull this cowardly bullshit. It's their game plan.

@ct_bergstrom thanks for the signal boost on this. I forwarded the article to a professor friend, and she's based a weekly discussion on Maggie's post for her curriculum on censorship this semester.
@starless brilliant!
