Biden appoints point person to tackle increasing book bans.

TL;DR
President Biden will appoint a new point person at the Education Department to address an increase in book bans, which can violate federal civil rights laws if they create a hostile environment for students. Other actions being rolled out include a community safety program, an advisory for mental health care providers, and regulations to protect LGBTQI+ kids in foster care. Biden will deliver remarks on the issue during a Pride Month event on Thursday evening.
