Both voices on the right and left have been pointing the finger at each other over book bans, often with media bias, blurring the lines between “bans” and “challenges.” More in our latest Misinformation Watch, by andygorel:
, think tanks and news sources sometimes miss the distinction between a “book ban” and a “book challenge.” Sometimes books are banned entirely, but other times, titles are “challenged” but not necessarily removed.
The report found 2,532 instances of bans which affected 1,648 unique book titles, and notes that “there are likely additional bans that have not been reported.” Those 1,648 titles were created by 1,553 unique authors, illustrators, or translators. PEN estimated that at least 40% of the 2,532 instances were “connected to either proposed or enacted legislation, or to political pressure exerted by state officials or elected lawmakers to restrict the teaching or presence of certain books or concepts.”
