We have made so many strides toward <br />equality in this country and no one should <br />want to see this progress reversed, Pink, via statement shared by PEN America.<br />CEO of PEN America Suzanne Nossel issued <br />a statement about partnering with Pink.<br />This is a wave that is taking over <br />our country, our schools, our libraries. <br />[They] are going after books about <br />children of color, stories of LGBTQ families, <br />books about babies, about animals, Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, via statement.<br />This is censorship in its purest form. <br />It is meant to suppress narratives that <br />we need here as a pluralistic society <br />and so we have to push back, Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, via statement.<br />Florida has banned more books than any other <br />state in the past year, according to PEN America
