The Virginia Education Association supports this bill.

I support HJ440

HJ440 Should be passed. We need a study on the removal of books in schools because it is crucial to be known the extent of this occurring in Virginia. It has happened at my kids school. However you have some who would say that book bans are a hoax. This is absolutely not true. Have this study get the information so that we can have something definitive to work from.

Hello, Please prioritize this initiative. This data will be invaluable for Virginia education and libraries. In addition, it will create jobs for the community. Thank you for your time

I urge passage of HJ440. This would enable a valuable study into the effects of removing books from the school libraries students use. Are certain subjects and viewpoints unsafe for children and teenagers? Or does the lack of information about those subjects create a risky ignorance? What happens to students who identify with the contents of removed books? A study would give us facts instead of assumptions to guide school policies.
