Another book on that list is “The Hate U Give.” which has no LGBTQ themes or sexual content but does depict the shooting of an unarmed Black teenager at the hands of police.
Next they'll ban authors or titles that could spell gay, transgender ect if you mixed the letters in the right way because of their need to make everything a conspiracy theory.
They changed their policy. These were jerseys for fans, though. At the time, there was a player named Gay playing for my favorite team and his name was absolutely on the jersey

I wonder if the just made a program that searches the library database for key words and just start submitting complaints on whatever is on the list?

It would be funny if it were not so tragic. The blissful ignorance.

Funnily enough, there is a hotel resorts chain in the south named "Gaylord"

To be fair, the librarians were probably educated in the Alabama school system.

Alabama: too dumb to know the difference.

You can't blame them. They can't read in the first place, they don't understand how those letters all work.

Harper Gay?

Yes, Alabama. Really. As far as IQ goes the populace is like a pickle of below average intelligence.

Alabama ranks #46 in the US for public education, as of the end of the 2022-23 school year, and has been in the bottom 5 for many years.

The NFL once banned jerseys with the surname "gay" on it before. like, this century. as for Alabama's book ban bullshit, this might take the cake
soepie7
So then what do they put on the jersey?
