According to a 2023 PEN America report, 81% of school districts that banned books between July 2022 and June 2023 were within or adjoined a county with a local chapter of a group such as Moms for Liberty.

The book was “teaching rebellion of school-board authority,” the board wrote.

Rightwing mom was so outraged by this book about book banning that she got it banned from school - LGBTQ Nation

"A Moms for Liberty school board cabal is responsible for this sad irony."

Florida school board bans the book “Ban This Book” because it mentions other books that have been banned and promotes "rebellion of school board authority” 🤮

Is this the shark jumping moment for book banners? (Probably not)

Book about book bans banned by #Florida school board: Ban This Book by Alan Gratz banned in Indian River county after opposition from parents linked to Moms for Liberty

"A book about book bans has been banned in a Florida school district.

Ban This Book, a children’s book written by Alan Gratz, will no longer be available in the Indian River county school district since the school board voted to remove the book last month.

Gratz’s book, which came out in 2017, follows fourth-grader Amy Anne Ollinger as she tries to check out her favorite book. Ollinger is told by the librarian she cannot, because it was banned after a classmate’s parent thought it was inappropriate. She then creates a secret banned-books library, entering into “an unexpected battle over book banning, censorship, and who has the right to decide what she and her fellow students can read”, according to the book’s description on Gratz’s website."
