House Bill 10

Background: House Bill 10 would require public and school library employees to make sure books that some consider inappropriate or objectionable aren’t available to minors.

Our Stance: The ACLU of Wyoming opposes House Bill 10.

Substituting state control for parental judgement is not the answer. Government officials cannot impose their personal moral values on others. Moving a book to a less accessible section for its intended readers or removing it from a school library entirely, like what would be happening if this bill becomes law – is an example of censorship, pure and simple.
