Una escuela de Mánchester retira libros de su biblioteca por preocupaciones sobre su contenido

Una escuela de Mánchester retiró numerosos títulos de las estanterías de su biblioteca en marzo de 2026 y calificó a su bibliotecario como un riesgo para la protección de los menores. La medida afectó a libros sobre temas LGBTQ+ y racismo. El bibliotecario terminó dimitiendo debido al estrés.

La purga se produjo tras la desaprobación de ciertos libros por parte del director del centro. Muchos de los títulos retirados incluían personajes LGBTQ+ o abordaban el racismo, incluyendo obras de autores de color. La escuela se basó en una lista generada por inteligencia artificial que marcaba los libros por motivos vagos, como una posible alteración emocional.
