Censorship: Are Schools Really Banning Books?

Censorship: Are Schools Really Banning Books?

Per some news reports, schools are banning some books – because someone on the right objected to them. Except that may not be true – at all. In fact, books may not have been banned and the connection to the “right” was tenuous.  This long Twitter thread covers a lot of ground and says almost all such stories trace back to a single organization claiming books were banned:

NYC Expat Mom on Twitter: “I can’t tell you exactly why, but I have a particular interest in the media spin on so-called book banning. Maybe it’s because the perspectives are so incredibly biased, that it’s reminiscent of COVID coverage. Publishing, Under Pressure https://t.co/6cbGK4KOva” / Twitter

I have no way to verify any of these comments.
