The state of Mississippi — where white cops are still torturing Black men for living with white women, and Black bodies are being buried in unmarked graves without families being notified — has ordered its libraries to delete academic research on racism from their databases. Also ordered to be scrubbed from library databases in Mississippi — the state that provided the case the U.S. Supreme Court used to abolish women’s reproductive rights — was research on gender studies.
