A School in Manchester banned a lot of books,. And destroyed a librarians career. I read a lot of these as a teenager from my School library, this is nuts, they were fine. https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/school-book-banning-escalates-in-the-uk-as-greater-manchester-secondary-school-censors-scores-of-books/

@kirrus@chocolate-teapot.uk @revk@toot.me.uk what is horrifying is that the council accepted the AI judgment on the books which the school librarian association said wasn't correct, the evidence about how many books wasn't shared with the council and currently this poor librarian now can't work with kids cos she has a safeguarding black mark on her record now.
