Full Synopsis
Fighting Censorship: A Handbook for Pushing Back on Book Bans equips listeners with arguments against the common reasons that are given to ban books in schools and public libraries. In September 2021, the school board in York, Pennsylvania, voted to remove many books from school libraries in its community. The Panther Anti-Racist Union (PARU) at Central York High School, comprised of four students and two advisors, successfully fought the ban by organizing protests and media interviews to raise awareness. In this book, the group takes on book banning and gives listeners actionable advice for how to fight back against book bans, speak out against censorship in their communities, and win the right to intellectual freedom.
