FROM PEN AMERICA: “Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country. Never before have so many states passed laws or regulations to facilitate the banning of books, including bans on specific titles statewide. Never before have so many politicians sought to bully school leaders into censoring content according to their ideological preferences, even threatening to withhold public funding to exact compliance. Never before has access to so many stories been stolen from so many children.” Report Pen America’s report here.
