The Makabayan bloc wants a congressional investigation into the removal of books from state university libraries for supposed 鈥渟ubversive鈥� content. In filing House Resolution No. 2290, the six lawmakers from Bayan Muna, Gabriela, ACT Teachers and Kabataan said the removal of allegedly subversive books from the libraries of the Kalinga State University, Isabela State University and Aklan State University was reminiscent of what Adolf Hitler did in Germany in the 1930s when he ordered the burning of thousands of books. The group said the confiscation and removal by the government security forces and the state colleges and universities could also be considered 鈥渂ook burning鈥� because it results in 鈥渙utright censorship and attacking one鈥檚 freedom of thought in pursuit of an oppressive scheme.鈥� 鈥擭ESTOR CORRALES
