The idea of the work

Book bans in U.S. schools are at an all-time high, according to free speech advocacy group PEN America.
In the first half of the school year, the organization identified more than 4,000 incidents of book bans, exceeding the number discovered in the 2022-2023 school year. “This report should be a red alert to anyone who cares about the bedrock of American values ​​and the protection of free speech,” said Sabrina Baetta, PEN America’s Free to Read program manager and lead author of the report. Targeting narratives about race and gender identity as well as high levels of sexual content, and with no sign of stopping, the bans we are seeing are widespread, harsh and harmful – they are damaging the education of millions of students across the country.” PEN America also highlighted efforts by students and teachers to protest book bans or create alternative pathways so children can find threatened books.
