TWUC is deeply concerned about the apparent shadow-banning of LGBTQIA2S+ books shortlisted for the Forest of Reading Awards. According to a memo from the WCDSB, significant access restrictions have been placed by the WCDSB on Children's & YA books. bit.ly/4763Rlw

Much gratitude to Annick Press and other publishers for standing with me and other creators whose books have been shadow banned!

ACP shares TWUC's concerns about the alleged restriction of LGBTQIA2S+ books shortlisted for Forest of Reading by WCDSB. We condemn the suppression of Canadian children's books from diverse perspectives, and we are saddened to see some of our members' titles on the list.

“The OLA denounces any attempt to ban or restrict age-appropriate books on the grounds that they do not align with the personal beliefs and biases of school board members.”

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️ It is an annual observance that honours the memory of transgender individuals whose lives have been taken in acts of anti-transgender violence. glaad.org/tdor/ Visit our Information Guide: guides.wpl.winnipeg.ca/2SLGBTQQIA #TDOR
