I am calling about book bans in our public schools and libraries.
Over 23,000 books have been removed since 2021. PEN America found that a small number of organized groups file the majority of challenges.
Most banned books address race, LGBTQ identity, or history. Librarians and educators should decide what students can read, not political campaigns.
Oppose any legislation that makes it easier to remove books from school libraries based on political pressure.
