In 2023, the American Library Association documented more than 1,200 cases of efforts to ban library books, reflecting a troubling trend of censorship in education.
The book bans themselves cause the most harm, robbing youngsters of opportunities to think critically, explore ideas, and learn about experiences different from their own.
Those who are removing books from classrooms and libraries aim to limit information flow, which undermines democracy and prevents young people from challenging authority.
Censorship in education has a shameful history in the U.S., and we must uphold educational freedom to ensure knowledge remains accessible to all.
