Conservative Parents Seek to Ban Library Apps

“E-reader apps that became a lifeline for students during the pandemic are now in the crossfire of a culture war raging over books in schools and public libraries,” NBC News reports.

“In several states, apps and the companies that run them have been targeted by conservative parents who have pushed schools and public libraries to shut down their digital programs, which let users download and read books on their smartphones, tablets or laptops.”

“Some parents want the apps banned for their children, or even for all students. And they’re getting results.”
