A Bill That Will Prevent Banning Book In Illinois
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) is expected to sign a bill that will prevent book banning in Illinois libraries according to Alexi Giannoulias said Illinois Secretary of State.
Moreover, Pritzker is supporting the state’s H.B. 2789 which withholds state funding from any 1,600 public or school libraries that are banning books from their shelves. Furthermore, the House Bill mandated to adopt of the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights which means “indicates materials should not be proscribed or taken away because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.”
The bill is already waiting for the governor’s signature. In March Pritzker stated that banning books is a wrong move to remove them from the culture or the history.
The Daily News reported that the bill will reportedly allow the Land of Lincoln which distributes $62 million yearly to its 1,600 public and school libraries to withhold funds from institutions practicing literary censorship.
