[aisle] AISLE Statement on Censorship

[President AISLE]

The Aisle Leadership Recently approved the following statement on
Censorship.

AISLE is opposed to any attempt to force the removal of materials from
school libraries.  We strongly condemn recent efforts, by force or
intimidation, to remove works that focus on or document the experiences of
members of the LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC communities. We oppose censorship and any
effort that limits or denies access to materials to coerce belief, suppress
opinion or punish those whose expression does not conform to a singular
point-of-view of history, politics, or religion.
