A federal judge in Iowa has issued a preliminary injunction to temporarily block key parts of a law banning books from school libraries and forbidding teachers from raising LGBTQ+ issues. The injunction was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, arguing that the law was unconstitutional and violated the First Amendment. The injunction will remain in effect until the court can hear the case in full, with the ACLU of Iowa optimistic that the law will ultimately be struck down.
