Marc Tyler Nobleman was supposed to talk to kids about the secret co-creator of Batman, to inspire young students in suburban Atlanta’s Forsyth County to research and write. Then the school district told him not to share that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks. In a telephone interview, Nobleman said, “We’re long past the point where we should be policing people talking about who they love, and that’s what I’m hoping will happen in this community.” State laws restricting talk of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools have increased in recent years, but this incident shows schools may be limiting such discussions even in states that haven’t officially banned them.
