Last Monday, the Department of Defense circulated a memo stating that it is examining library books “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics”. After access to all library books was suspended for a week for a review, a “small number of items” were identified and have been kept for “further review”, it said.
Other books that are part of the “compliance review” include No Truth Without Ruth by Kathleen Krull, about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to sit on the US supreme court. Books removed from library shelves have been relocated to “the professional collection for evaluation with access limited to professional staff”.
It’s hot in here. It must be at least 451 degrees…
233°C, the autoignition temperature of paper.
I’m sure Bradbury would love to see it used as a guide instead of a warning…
Nice.
We are very lucky that text only books have incredibly low file sizes, and can be easily backed up in thousands of places. They can burn our hard copies, but they can never destroy our books.
Must be a fire, man.
