Attorney General Bird responds to block of Iowa book ban law
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird released a statement Tuesday following the announcement that a federal judge blocked part of an Iowa book ban law.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher blocked part of the law that bans school libraries and classrooms from carrying books depicting sex acts.
“As a mom, I know how important it is to keep schools a safe place for kids to learn and grow,” says Attorney General Bird. “Parents shouldn’t have to worry about what materials their kids have access to when they’re not around. This common sense law makes certain that the books kids have access to in school classrooms and libraries are age-appropriate. I’m going to keep on fighting to uphold our law that protects schoolchildren and parental rights.”
