(SRN NEWS)-(  )  The American Library Association has released its annual list of the books most challenged at the country’s libraries, and the vast majority of them either promote the LGBT lifestyle or include pornographic content unsuitable for children.  Amongst the books most often challenged are Maia Kobabe’s (MY-uh  koh-BAH-bay’s) graphic memoir “Gender Queer”, John Green’s boarding school narrative “Looking for Alaska” and Jennifer Armentrout’s paranormal romance “Storm and Fury.”  Parents all across the country have begun to take a closer look at the books their children are being given at the library and in the schools.


(  )  A new Kansas law will allow college students to sue their schools for free-speech violations.  In Tennessee, a new law will encourage teachers and professors to include the positive impacts of religion in American history courses.  Both are being done in the name of Charlie Kirk.  More than 60 Kirk-themed bills have been proposed in over 20 states seeking to promote his ideology, establish official days of remembrance or affix his name to roads and public places.  Kirk, who was assassinated while giving a speech last year, attracted a lot of young people to his Christian faith and his conservative political views.

(  )  British police are investigating whether a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites in London are the work of Iranian proxies. The Metropolitan Police force says counterterror officers are probing the attacks on synagogues and other sites linked to the Jewish community, as well as an attack on a Persian-language media company.  No one has been injured in the blazes, the latest of which caused minor damage to a north London synagogue over the weekend. The chief rabbi warns that British Jews are facing a campaign of violence and intimidation and Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he is appalled by the attacks.

(  )  Forty-eight percent of Americans ages 18-to-29 cannot name a single Nazi concentration camp.  That’s the finding of a new survey by the nonprofit Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.  The poll also reveals that 53 percent of the general U.S. population has encountered Holocaust denial or distortion while on social media.  The Conference and other Jewish groups are afraid that the memory of the Nazi genocide will fade as survivors of the tragic event pass away.  Given their ages, approximately 70 percent of all living Holocaust survivors will likely be gone by the year 2035.
