Original Note:
The article talks about “more than 2,500 instances of book bans in U.S. schools” that have occurred for numerous reasons. Note focused on whether a handful of books are banned in the state of Florida is not accurate and misses the key point. https://pen.org/banned-in-the-usa/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hTs_PB7KuTMBtNMESFEGuK-0abzhNxVv4tgpI5-iKe8/htmlview https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/banned-books-qa https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/whos-behind-the-push-to-ban-books-in-schools-180980818/ https://www.rd.com/article/book-banning/ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60261660
