School Districts Grapple With New Onslaught of Book Ban Requests
- Complaints are being filed in multiple states to have various books removed from school libraries and curricula.
- Both conservative and religious groups are pushing for broad book removal policies and challenging specific titles they deem inappropriate.
- School districts have review committees to evaluate the books to see if they meet the criteria to be considered objectionable.
- Even religious texts like the Bible and Book of Mormon are being flagged for review in some districts.
- The campaigns are aimed at books that could be seen as pornographic, indecent or promoting violence or vulgarity.
