Opponents to the book-ban push were frustrated that only one side got to speak on the topic, but Republicans noted they’d have a follow-up hearing.
However, State Rep. Brooke Boden (R-Indianola) told a parent group that the other hearing won’t allow input from parents opposed to the censorship push, but instead focus on school administrators.
“Annie’s Foundation reached out to Brooke Monday evening after leaving the supposedly ‘open’ session that conveniently only allowed for members of Moms For Liberty [racist and homophobic group of white OGP women] to speak,” Founder and President Sara Hayden Parris said in a statement. “All of the Moms For Liberty were, of course, in favor of banning books. After 5 days and a follow-up email, Brooke finally responded, saying that school administrators and school board members would speak at a hearing scheduled on the 20th.”
