My daughter loves reading. I just found her new reading list.
Utah has not only banned 13 books (12 by women) from public schools and libraries, it's mandated that the books may NOT be sold or redistributed. These books include authors such as Margaret Atwood and Judy Blume.
My home country is becoming less recognizable every day. This is disgusting.
