RCMP Confirms Censorship Attempts Were Unwarranted at BC School Libraries
CFLA/FCAB Press Release
14 March 2023, Canada
Libraries continue to defend students’ freedom to read in the face of increased censorship
tactics.
A recent RCMP investigation found that items in Chilliwack, BC school libraries – while they
may be deemed inappropriate or concerning to some people – do not contain child
pornography. The investigation was in response to a complaint from a member of a Canadian based group which is actively trying to have certain titles – primarily those with LGBTQA2S+
content – removed from libraries. Read the full press release here.
