As you’ve probably noticed, there’s been a growing trend of book challenges in the United States. Let’s look at what’s behind this effort.
In recent years, the United States has witnessed a remarkable surge in challenges to books, a phenomenon reaching across various layers of society.
Parents, activists, school board officials, and lawmakers have become increasingly vocal in their objections to certain literary works, marking a departure from historical norms.
What distinguishes this contemporary wave of challenges, according to educators, librarians, and free-speech advocates, is not just the heightened frequency but also the altered tactics and the diverse venues where these disputes unfold.
