Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws
Lawmaker says the removal of scholarly material from library databases would provoke backlash in a state where minorities have fought for equal access to education.
From the article :
“”“”The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.
The Gender Studies Database included academic content from 377 peer reviewed journals. Subjects include, “Gender inequality, Masculinity, Post-feminism (and) Gender identity.” The other deleted database, titled “Race Relations Abstracts” focused on a wide range of subjects, including “Ethnic studies, Discrimination, Immigration studies (and) Ideology.””
