Contraband Authors Supporting the Caravan
Tucson officials are denying that any books are banned. Don't fall for it. Plain and simple: it is against the law to teach these books in Tucson Public High School Classrooms. The schools will be penalized by LOSING 10% of their budget if they do.
We will be listing the banned authors who will be part of the caravan. They will either host us along the route or join us at the huge literary pachange in Tucson.
Please forgive us if we lag behind updating this page.
