NYRA Continues to Pressure Barnes and Noble

The Barnes and Noble location in West Hartford, CT has been engaging in youth discrimination by displaying the sign “unaccompanied minors may be asked to leave.” Bookstores are places of learning and exploration, where no minors should be told to leave but instead encouraged to enter.
