A school board in Virginia has voted to start pulling pulling “sexually explicit” books off of high school library shelves, with some board members suggesting that they hold a book burning.
The Spotsylvania County School Board voted 6–0 to remove “objectionable” materials from Riverbend High School’s library, after parents complained about LGBTQIA content available on the school’s digital library app. The vote happened at a contentious November 8 school board meeting. The news was first reported by the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star.
