The article discusses the rise of book bans in U.S. schools, particularly in Republican-led states, targeting Black authors, LGBTQIA+ authors, and marginalized histories. Teachers across the country are facing challenges in selecting texts due to new legislation restricting topics like race, gender, and sexuality in K-12 curriculum. Educators are navigating fear of pushback, adapting text selection processes, and becoming more politically aware of book-banning policies, even in states without such legislation. The text also mentions President Biden's opposition to book bans and includes references to studies on educational policy analysis and teacher perspectives on multicultural literature.
