No Truth Without Ruth by Kathleen Krull and Nancy Zhang, a biography of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. One of Books To be Banned By DOD ? | Practice Source - Legal News and Views

It’s all fairly murky how books are removed and who decides, which I presume is the idea.

The big story is all about Julianne Moore’s kids with freckles book ..very subversive!

That report also mentions

Pen America, a New York non-profit that advocates for free expression, reported the banning on Instagram. The news comes as the administration attempts to erase other aspects of human life, such as using the word “gender,” observing Black History Month, and, yes, discussing human sexuality. Per Pen, other books banned include Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt, about trans actor Nicole Maines’ transition, and No Truth Without Ruth by Kathleen Krull and Nancy Zhang, a biography of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

No Truth Without Ruth: The Life Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hardcover – Picture Book, 19 February 2018

by Kathleen Krull (Author), Nancy Zhang (Illustrator)

Ruth Bader Ginsburg may be one of the most respected women in the United States political landscape, but her recognition is nothing short of hard-won. In fact, for years before becoming a justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth had to fight against the notion that being female meant that she was less smart, less qualified, and less worthy of attention than her male counterparts. Throughout college, law school, and her work life, she faced discrimination?just because she was a woman.

But it was in her fight for equality that she made an imprint on American history, by changing the way the law dealt with women’s rights, and by showing people that unfairness to women wasn’t just a female problem?that it negatively affected men and children, too. In this inspiring picture book from award-winning author Kathleen Krull and artist Nancy Zhang, readers will learn about Ruthless Ruthie?a warrior for equality, defender of justice, and a trailblazer for girls everywhere.

But also Task & Purpose report the that the following titles including Hillbilly Elegy are to be removed from shelves.

I presume they don’t want students to know how dumb the vice president actually is!

Pulled books include ‘The Kite Runner,’ ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ and ‘Brave New World’

A high school student at a DoDEA school in Europe compiled a list of books pulled from their library, which the student’s parent provided to Task & Purpose. The books included both novels and non-fiction books on climate change, gender, sexuality, social media algorithms, women’s health, politics, and immigrant stories.

Pulled titles included:

“The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini
“Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis” by Vice President JD Vance
“Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley
“An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States” by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
“Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves” by Glory Edim

Sherwood, the superintendent of DoDEA Pacific West, said at the Osan town hall that he is receiving instructions on how to implement the executive orders from DoDEA lawyers and headquarters in Washington, D.C. DoDEA Pacific West officials are working with a regional instructional system specialist who is working with librarians on books that will be removed, he said.
