“A federal judge on December 29 temporarily blocked key parts of an Iowa law that bans some books from school libraries and forbids teachers from raising LGBTQ+ issues. Judge Stephen Locher’s preliminary injunction halts enforcement of the law, which was set to take effect January 1 but already had resulted in the removal of hundreds of books from Iowa schools. Locher blocked enforcement of provisions banning books depicting sex acts from school libraries and classrooms and forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with students through the sixth grade.”
