Utah banned 13 books based on a new law that requires removal if considered 'objective sensitive material,' defined as involving sex or nudity without 'serious value' for minors. This action has sparked criticism from free speech advocates and groups like PEN America and Let Utah Read.
Books like 'Forever' by Judy Blume, 'Oryx and Crake' by Margaret Atwood, and 'Milk and Honey' by Rupi Kaur were among the first ones removed. The state Board of Education plans to update the list as needed, following the law.
