Story by Judy Kurtz
Some of the literary world’s biggest-selling authors and names — including Judy Blume, James Patterson, poet Amanda Gorman and civil rights activist Ruby Bridges — are joining forces and donating millions to fight book bans in Florida and across the country.
A group of 23 authors have donated more than $3.6 million to go toward PEN America, the free expression organization announced Wednesday. The money will go toward opening a center in Florida by the end of the year “to host public events, wage campaigns and empower Florida citizens to defend their basic freedoms,” PEN America said in a statement.
The effort was spearheaded by “The Lincoln Lawyer” author Michael Connelly, who along with his wife, Linda McCaleb, contributed $1 million to the group.
The move comes amid more than 3,300 book ban attempts in K-12 schools across the country last year and the removal of 1,557 individual titles, according to PEN America. More than 40 percent of the book ban attempts took place in 33 school districts in Florida, the group said.
Blume, a Florida resident, and several of the authors have been outspoken critics of book bans.
Comment:
The far-left extremist authors are being dishonest.
Florida is only banning gay pedophile porn from their public-school libraries.
These degenerate left wingers can still buy gay pedophile porn for themselves and their own children if they want.
So, it is not an actual book ban.
Left Wingers are not happy with themselves being degenerates, they demand to make everyone else a degenerate also.
What is real censorship is the corrupt Democrat Party using big tech social media to censor their critics.
