All 80 books banned in Minnesota last year came from one school
Every one of the 80 books removed from shelves in Minnesota over the past year came from a single school, according to the Star Tribune. The finding highlights how book removals in the state are concentrated in one place rather than spread across districts, a pattern likely to fuel the ongoing national debate over school library restrictions and challenges to titles dealing with race, gender and LGBTQ themes.
Why now: It offers a striking new data point in the ongoing national debate over school book bans, showing the phenomenon is concentrated rather than widespread in the state.
