The seventh episode of Lights Out Mass is just in time for Banned Books Week!
We talk about how libraries are awesome, Jeff’s new project to uncover all book challenges at public libraries and schools throughout Massachusetts, how bigots — including Rayla Campbell, the former Mass GOP candidate for secretary of the commonwealth — have been using concerns about protecting children from sexual abuse as cover for their bigotry, and proposed legislation that would ban book bans.
