Book bans continue to be on the rise with a record number of school districts removing works based on themes of race and racism, LGBTQIA+ identity, and more. According to PEN America, there were more than 4,300 book bans across 23 states and 52 public school districts from July 2023 to December 2023.
However, these stories are essential for us to understand the diversity of the human experience.
Join the fight for intellectual freedom by transforming your summer reading list with a book from our Summer (Banned) Reading List.
By completing all the action steps and verifying your participation in the Uncensored: Summer (Banned) Reading List, you’ll be entered for the opportunity to earn a $500 scholarship.
