Stephen Locher
Stephen Locher is a federal judge appointed by Joe Biden, known for his rulings on free speech and literature censorship. Recently, he garnered attention for blocking a controversial Iowa law that aimed to ban certain books from school libraries, ruling that the law's application was unconstitutional and that it unjustly targeted works with significant political, artistic, or literary value, including classics like George Orwell's '1984'. Locher's decision highlights ongoing debates in the U.S. regarding book bans and the protection of literary rights in educational settings.
