Tommy Altman appeared on Timcast IRL to discuss legal actions involving sexually explicit and controversial books in school libraries. During the episode, Altman mentioned several specific titles, including the book Genderqueer by Joan Nestle and Riki Anne Wilchins, which he described as a prominent subject of controversy and part of a legal challenge he brought forward in Virginia. He also discussed A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas and Carnival of Fury by William Ivy Hair, noting that these works formed the basis of his efforts to secure judicial rulings regarding obscene materials in schools. Altman explained that he and others took these matters before a judge, noting the unusual circumstance where every single judge in Virginia Beach recused themselves from the case. Throughout the discussion, Altman used these titles to illustrate his ongoing advocacy and legal challenges concerning literature available to students, highlighting the contentious debate over content restrictions in educational settings.
