Authors Against Book Bans Stands Against HR8705
Statement of Opposition Re: HR 8705 “The CHARLIE ACT”. Authors Against Book Bans (AABB) strongly opposes H.R. 8705, aka the Civics and History Advancement to Restore Learning, Integrity, and Education (CHARLIE) Act. H.R. 8705 is the latest legislation in the GOP’s crusade to try to erase entire communities from the story of the United States, and it will have a suppressive and damaging effect on our schools and libraries.
