, which advocates protecting free expression through the advancement of literature and human rights.
The Girls Who Code books were banned specifically by Pennsylvania's Central York School District, located in a critical political swing region where Saujani said the organization has an active club. But she said the move is part of a larger effort by Moms for Liberty, a conservative organization that advocates for parental rights in schools, including oversight of educational material.
"We use these stories to teach kids to code," she said."It felt very much like a direct attack on the movement we've been building to get girls coding. Especially in districts that don't have the technology or have disparate Wi-Fi, books are a great way to learn to code and a way to equalize access to coding."
"You cannot be what you cannot see," she said."They don't want girls to learn how to code because that's a way to be economically secure."
Protip: not a single girl needs this book to learn to code. Not one.

It's pretty wild how these phony astroturf groups show their colors so quickly. Even skeptical journalists never do more than merely ask for comment rather than inquire whose money brought a nationwide censorship effort online in mere weeks.
Not banned, BI didn't check their sources and get info from the school district. What do you expect from a far left 'news' org.
Parent when U look this up on net is does look like A real club need to VERIFY that IF your babies look at this stuff never know about computers
It's not about 'fear', it's about POWER. I was in an office consulting when some computers were delivered. When they did not power-up, I checked inside and found loose boards, which I reinstalled. The secretary saw me do this and enrolled in a computer class the next day.

Can you not compromise and just work with students in class is it the books they can't take home or the study .
This all does really start a bad path when have so many smart honest girls/boys want to learn for honest careers, then bad eggs want to learn to sell the band books to junior high the parents who care, parents who just Don't so far the ones that don't
I'd sure love to hear the justification for banning Girls Who Code. Is it gonna involve some arbitrary gender roles that women apparently must follow or else the literal collapse of western civilization will follow?
Moms of so-called Liberty should take a closer look at what’s happening in Iran.
So a school district has banned books whose theme is to encourage girls to get educated? Are they Taliban members?
Makes me wonder if that so-called group,'Moms for Liberty' (irony obviously lost on them), are even capable of reading those books, or just banning them because they have pictures of girls in positive positions in them. (I have not seen or read them, just guessing )
