CBC erinnert die gegenwärtigen Book Bans in US-amerikanischen Schulbibliotheken an die Comic-Book-Bans der 50er Jahre:
“Alberta’s revised restrictions on books in schools take aim at works containing explicit images of sexual acts, but it’s not the first time the province has banned graphics in the name of protecting children.
In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to control the sale of comic books and magazines.
The board was developed in response to a “growing outcry from parents, educators, religious leaders and others,” to investigate so-called “crime comics” that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.”
