From staff reports
The next Indivisible Beaufort meeting will be Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Downtown Beaufort Library at 311 Scott Street. The event is free and open to the public.
The focus of the February meeting will be censorship efforts at the state level. The group fears current regulations posed by the state Board of Education and legislation proposed by elected officials at the Statehouse could make book bans easier to initiate and much more prevalent.
The featured speakers will be Mary Foster and Carey Kerney.
Mary Foster is the Programs Director for FABB (Families Against Book Bans). She has a B.S. in Elementary Education and more than 20 years of teaching experience in public and private schools. She currently runs a licensed preschool in her home.
Carey Kerney is the Secretary/Treasurer of FABB. She has practiced law for 25 years and currently specializes in healthcare law. She is a former President of the Beaufort County Bar Association and served for five years on its Board of Directors.
The pair will share ways citizens can get involved in fighting attacks on intellectual freedom locally, around South Carolina, and even nationally.
