Across the United States, book bans in public schools have surged to record levels — with more than 22,000 instances tracked since 2021, according to PEN America. This episode of Evidence to Lead examines what’s driving this wave of censorship, which states are leading the trend, and how these decisions affect students, teachers, and school communities. We explore the data behind book removals and discuss the growing phenomenon of “soft censorship,” where fear of vague policies leads to quiet self-censorship in classrooms and libraries. Through a review of national reports and educator perspectives, we unpack how schools can balance community values, academic freedom, and students’ rights to read.
