Report: book bans rising in U.S., targeting nonfiction and LGBTQ+ titles
A Guardian analysis finds 29% of unique titles banned in U.S. public schools last year were nonfiction, and 52% of those nonfiction books focused on race, gender, or sexuality. The nonfiction bans included history, health, biographies and general-knowledge works, with many titles examining activism and social movements. Advocates warn that targeting nonfiction narrows students' access to civic and historical perspectives, raises First Amendment and curriculum-control concerns, and could reshape what young people are permitted to learn about society.
