Original: UPDATE: Book banning in U.S. schools hits 5-year high
New reporting indicates that book bans in U.S. schools have reached their highest level in five years. Titles most often targeted deal with race, gender and LGBTQ themes.

Why now: The sharp rise in school book bans has reignited debate over censorship and parental control in education.
