We support reading freedom in New Mexico. We oppose book bans.
Everyone deserves to share their culture through books. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to read.
Book bans limit reading choice by removing or hiding books. A few people shouldn't decide what everyone else can read. Book bans are often prejudiced too.
Schools and libraries are for learning. Our world is both great and difficult. We can all learn so much about it through the safety of the pages of a book.
