These four books are being targeted by book banners in Alberta, Canada

Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides from Alberta, Canada, announced a public feedback process around what he called “extremely graphic and age-inappropriate content” in K-12 school library books. The four books singled out by the government as containing examples of such content are Blankets by Craig Thompson, Flamer by Mike Curato, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, and Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, all of which are comics, three of which are queer stories.

During a press conference Monday, Nicolaides denied that the government’s initiative is about creating a book ban, though he told reporters that “our intent is that extreme offenders—like the ones we’ve identified—do not make their way into school libraries.” (source)

Folks in Alberta, Canada can share their opinion on book banning in this (very biased) government survey before June 6.
