    A 2023 analysis by The Washington Post found that a majority of book challenges in over 100 school districts from the 2021–2022 school year were filed by just 11 people.[30] Based on a survey by PEN, about 10,000 books were banned from US schools by Republican-led censorship laws in the 2023/2024 academic year. This was nearly triple the amount of the previous academic year,[4] which had also seen a record level of bans.[31]

    I’d love to see your sources.

      Oh I pulled it out of my arse while paving somebody’s patio, actually. Something about Huckleberry Finn? But I’m glad we agree nobody should be banning books.
