Schule in Manchester entfernt Bibliotheksbücher wegen inhaltlicher Bedenken

Eine Schule in Manchester entfernte im März 2026 zahlreiche Titel aus ihren Bibliotheksregalen und stufte ihre Bibliothekarin als Sicherheitsrisiko ein. Die Maßnahme betraf Bücher zu LGBTQ+-Themen und Rassismus. Die Bibliothekarin trat später aus stressbedingten Gründen zurück.

Die Säuberungsaktion folgte auf die Missbilligung bestimmter Bücher durch die Schulleitung. Viele der entfernten Titel enthielten LGBTQ+-Figuren oder thematisierten Rassismus, darunter auch Werke von farbigen Autoren. Die Schule stützte sich auf eine KI-generierte Liste, die Bücher aus vagen Gründen, wie etwa potenzielle emotionale Belastung, als problematisch markierte.
