📚 This won’t be the last time

Utah’s State Board of Education has added another title, Looking for Alaska, to its list of books banned from all public schools statewide. This title became the 28th book banned across the state. The source text indicates the book was added sometime after March 12, or the date on the list was meant to be March 12, not March 2. The state’s ability to keep accurate records on the banned book list is called into question.

• There are now 28 books banned from all Utah public schools
• This comes despite a lawsuit filed against the state of Utah s book banning law, challenging the legality of Utah s sensitive materials law.
• Despite claims this is about local control, schools in the state are forced to follow the decisions made in other districts.
