(Radio Iowa) – A federal judge has blocked Iowa for the second time from enforcing a law that seeks to keep books with sexual content out of school libraries.
Attorney Dan Novack says a broad ban on books with sex acts would deny students information. Penguin Random House joined other major publishing houses in arguing against the library restrictions. Supporters of the law, like Attorney General Brenna Bird, say it’s a critical law that ensures the books in K-12 schools are age-appropriate.
The judge’s opinion says school library collections are already curated by local officials for age-appropriate reading.
