US public schools have implemented bans on over 12,000 books, according to reports tracking censorship in educational institutions. The removals include acclaimed literary works by authors such as the Brontë sisters and Canadian writer Margaret Atwood.
These book bans reflect broader debates across American schools regarding curriculum content and age-appropriate materials for students. The trend has drawn attention from educators, librarians, and free speech advocates who raise concerns about restricted access to literature in school libraries.
