What’s the matter with Iowa? Its GOP leaders' hysterical determination to ban books

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 6/11/2024
Attorney Eric H. Wessan, representing the state, argued before Judges James B. Loken, Ralph R. Erickson and L. Steven Grasz in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Paul, Minnesota, against an injunction from two lawsuits against Iowa Senate File 496. The injunction, issued in late December, halted enforcement of the 2023 law, which bans books that depict sex acts from Iowa public schools and prohibits instruction and curriculum about gender identity and sexual orientation through sixth grade. 
This law was done by the Iowa Legislature with the intent of helping support Iowa's youth and in helping to curate the way that Iowa students learn,” Wessan said. The injunction “has stymied that," he said.
