		</div><p>The new mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, has officially banned from schools dozens of children&#8217;s books on subjects such as homosexuality and disability, provoking a flurry of criticism.</p>
<p>The controversial move to ban the titles was one of Brugnaro&#8217;s promises during his campaign leading up to the June elections.<br />
According to a statement published Wednesday on the mayor&#8217;s website, Brugnaro said he would not be &#8220;intimidated&#8221;, and listed 49 books as blacklisted for schools.</p>
<p>The banned titles include the French book &#8220;Jean has two moms&#8221;, which centres around a wolf family with two mothers.<br />
The mayor said that it is &#8220;parents that need to educate their children on these things, and not schools&#8221;.</p>
<p>Reacting to the announcement, organizations launched a marathon of public readings of the banned books.<br />
Several libraries also encouraged people to read the banned titles with signs reading &#8220;Blacklisted books, be a rebel, read them&#8221;.</p>
