Une école de Manchester retire des livres de sa bibliothèque par souci de contenu

Une école de Manchester a retiré de nombreux ouvrages des étagères de sa bibliothèque en mars 2026 et a qualifié son bibliothécaire de risque pour la sécurité des élèves. Cette mesure visait des livres traitant de sujets LGBTQ+ et du racisme. Le bibliothécaire a par la suite démissionné en raison du stress subi.

Ce retrait a fait suite à la désapprobation de certains ouvrages par le directeur de l'établissement. Bon nombre des titres retirés mettaient en scène des personnages LGBTQ+ ou abordaient la question du racisme, incluant notamment des œuvres d'auteurs de couleur. L'école s'est appuyée sur une liste générée par une intelligence artificielle, qui signalait les livres pour des raisons vagues telles qu'un potentiel choc émotionnel.
