Should anyone dictate to you what you're allowed to read? What you're allowed to learn? What music or movies you're allowed to enjoy? Many people consider these to be basic human freedoms: the freedoms to think, to grow intellectually, and to explore the world through art, literature, song, and other forms of expression. Shocking as it may seem, these basic intellectual freedoms are often under assault. Challenges to media on library shelves and in school classrooms are frequent, and even when they don't succeed, fighting them exhausts the resources of these institutions, and often creates a chilling effect that results in pre-emptive, internal censorship in the wake of the challenge. Please join us in fighting for everyone's right to read!
