Book Ban Efforts Spread Across the U.S.

New York Times: “Parents, activists, school board officials and lawmakers around the country are challenging books at a pace not seen in decades.”

“Such challenges have long been a staple of school board meetings, but it isn’t just their frequency that has changed, according to educators, librarians and free-speech advocates — it is also the tactics behind them and the venues where they play out. Conservative groups in particular, fueled by social media, are now pushing the challenges into statehouses, law enforcement and political races.”
