As fears over political attacks rise, diverse books disappear from shelves

An open records request by the watchdog group American Oversight and reported by the Cobb Courier revealed the preemptive removal last summer of at least 30 recently acquired books with LGBTQ+ themes and characters, including “Dangerous Play.” A Cobb Schools spokeswoman said Thursday there was no administrative edict, saying it “is not on the list of books that have been removed from Cobb’s schools.”
