  18. “In 2025, book bans were not sparked by concerned parents, & they were not the result of local grassroots efforts,” Sarah Lamdan, exec dir of #ALA’s Office for #Intellectual #Freedom, said in a statement. “They were part of a well-funded, politically-driven campaign.”

    Lamdan told AP that activists circulate lists of targeted #books nationwide.

  23. #Florida, #Texas & #Utah are among the many states that have called for #books to be banned or passed restrictive #legislation. In #Iowa, an appellate court ruled earlier this month that the state can enforce a #law that limits #teachers from even talking about #LGBTQ+ topics with #students in kindergarten through the 6th grade & bans some books.

    Last year, >90% of challenges arose from #activists & #government ofcls, acc/to the #ALA, compared to 72% in 2024.

  24. …For decades, challenges to a given book came from a parent or another member of a local community. But in recent years, the #ALA has found, the trend shifted sharply to #government officials & such #conservative activists as #MomsForLiberty, who advocate “parental choice” [in reality, the group’s choice] in deciding what #schools & #libraries should make available.

  25. Objections include #LGBTQ+ themes (“Gender Queer,” “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”), #SexualViolence (“Sold” & “A Clockwork Orange”) & use of #alcohol & #cigarettes (“Looking for Alaska”).
