Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

“Regimes Ban Books, Not Democracies”: Illinois Gov. Pritzker Signs Bill Outlawing Book Bans In Libraries

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law Monday that prohibits book bans in its public schools and libraries. “Book bans are about censorship, marginalizing people and marginalizing ideas,” Pritzker said, surrounded by librarians and educators at Chicago’s Harold Washington Public Library. “Regimes ban books, not democracies.” The first-in-the-nation law is a defense against a nationwide trend demanding that books be removed from library shelves.

Many of the challenged books are written by or describe the experiences of people of color or who are part of the LGBTQ community. “While certain hypocritical governors are banning books written by L.G.B.T.Q.

authors, but then claiming censorship when the media fact-checks them, we are showing the nation what it really looks like to stand up for liberty,” Pritzker said.

From July to December 2022, PEN America found 1,477 instances of individual books banned, affecting 874 unique titles. Under the bill, Illinois would not authorize state grants to libraries that do not endorse the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights or otherwise promise not to take from the shelves books already in their collections. “I think it’s going to impact the community of libraries in Illinois,” said Chicago Public Library Commissioner Chris Brown. “In Chicago, we are extremely proud of our book sanctuary initiative. … We are safe spaces for all voices and materials.” Brian Johnson, the CEO of Equality Illinois said it is a significant symbol that the bill was signed during Pride Month. “If reading materials are denied to us, we are denied an opportunity to learn about ourselves,” he said.

Ron DeSantis, who opinion polls show is trailing former president Donald Trump in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, has focussed on transgender issues.Earlier this year, the Republican signed bills that ban gender-affirming care for minors, mandate people to use certain bathrooms and restrict discussions of personal pronouns in schools.The memo, written by the school district's deputy general counsel, John Palmerini, notes that the Florida Board of Education on July 19 adopted a change to the Florida Administrative Code that states each school board must adopt a policy for education records that includes "provisions for parents to specify the use of any deviation from their child's legal name in school.""As an example, if the student is named Robert, but likes to be called the nickname Rob, the form must be filled out authorizing teachers and other personnel to call Robert the nickname Rob," the memo said.According to the memo, parents may fill out a form "allowing the usage of a transgender name.""As an example, if the student's legal name is Robert, but the student identifies as a transgender girl and uses the name Roberta, the parent may authorize a teacher or other personnel to call the student Roberta," the memo said.But it also said that while teachers and other personnel would use the name requested by the parent, they "may elect not to utilize the pronoun 'she/her' when referring to Roberta" as a result of a recently enacted law.That law, House Bill 1069, prohibits school employees or students from being required to refer to people by pronouns that don't correspond to the person's sex.The memo sparked a backlash after it was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical
