Abstract:
Banning books from public and school libraries has sharply increased in the USA in recent years. I analyze the phenomenon of book banning from the theoretical perspective of how books get ritualized in different textual dimensions. Book bans have a long cultural history in shaping literary and religious canons. Comparison with book burning shows some similar and some distinctive strategies behind book banning. Like book burning, book banning aims to draw public attention and to offend political opponents. In contrast to ritualized destruction of iconic books, however, book banning attacks the expressive dimension of reading texts by trying to prevent access to them. Whereas book burnings aim to offend opponents’ sensibilities, book bans aim to prevent inspiration to imagine different social arrangements and personal identities. That goal is apparent from the disproportionate focus on banning books with multi-cultural and LGBTQIA+ themes. The ban acts as a warning against embracing certain opinions and identities. However, analyzing book banning as ritual also draws attention to well-developed, ongoing traditions of counter-ritualizing by many libraries. They publicize banned book lists and encourage reading them during “Banned Books Week” and similar events. Through this ritual analysis of iconic and expressive texts, book banning emerges as a traditional site of cultural conflict over the means and goals of textual inspiration.

Abstract:
The field of children’s literature has been adversely affected by the current alarming resurgence of book banning across the United States. Book banning has become the grandstanding stage for individuals on different political platforms to institute their desire to silence issues and people; most of these banned books share experiences that differ from mainstream white society. In their zest to muzzle others and create a dogmatic uniformity to a majority white mainstream, some parents and their political allies have targeted books they deem inappropriate, books that celebrate the kaleidoscope of races, cultures, and mores that make up the US. This essay examines the current wave of banning children’s books and the reasoning behind this trend. I argue that this trend of reader suppression seeks to silence minoritized voices and prevent critical conversations. Finally, I make a call to action for educators to share diverse stories so young readers, especially Black and Brown children, can see representations of themselves in books and other media.

Abstract:
In Fall of 2022 two researchers set out to explore both scholarly work on censorship and news articles via social media, to help gain a broader understanding of censorship and book banning trends. The following research question guided their research: What does this wave of book banning and censorship look like across the US? What they discovered is a kind of censorship-Hydra, an evolving beast posing an ever-present danger, one that will likely take the courage, collaboration, and ingenuity of educators everywhere. This article offers a snapshot of this current beast of book banning and censorship in the form of two annotated bibliographies—one focused on news reports and trends in social media—the other focused on academic searches of scholarly articles.

Abstract:
Libraries have long been involved in conversations around book banning and censorship. The American Library Association noted that librarians and information workers in 2022 witnessed the most documented attempts at banning books ever recorded. This is in lockstep with contemporary examples of legislative efforts to censor, ban, and by extension criminalize information. The criminalization of information is one that has a direct impact on library users as well as academic freedom. In an effort to best support scholars at all levels in the University, academic teaching librarians will need to develop strategies to approach the information classroom. Understanding that book bans and censorship are a form of criminalization allows us to be in conversation with scholarship that focus on how to combat criminalization such as abolitionist pedagogy. This article introduces core concepts of abolitionist pedagogy as a means to create new educational justice pathways and to interrupt information criminalization.

Abstract:
A Family Values discourse emerged at the beginning of the 20t h century when social welfare groups began to see "the family" as a solution to social problems. As the century ' wore on, the concept of the family came to take on a specific meaning of a heterosexual reproductive unit. During the 1950s a growing Christian Right movement began to lobby for the protection and promotion of the family. These Christian Right groups saw the family as a means of saving the country from the evils of communism and sexual perversions. A few issues came to be seen as of particular importance to the welfare of the traditional family. These issues, abortion, education, pornography and gay rights, among others became centerpieces of the 1990s Pro-Family Movement (PFM) platform within the New Christian Right. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a Family Values discourse in the negotiation of educational policy around queer issues. In order to study the PFM's use of a Family Values discourse, a documentary analysis of documents surrounding the Surrey Book Banning in British Columbia was conducted. The Book Banning began when a number of teachers and members of Gay and Lesbian Educators (GALE) petitioned the provincial teachers union to include fighting heterosexism and homophobia among its committees for social justice. Following this approval of this resolution, the Surrey School Board, known for its P FM connections) banned GALE materials and three Kindergarten-Grade One books that presented same-sex couples. This banning resulted in an extensive legal battle. For this study, media reports and court documents were assembled to present a comprehensive history of the Book Banning case and its relationship to current gay rights activism and P FM organizations. An argument analysis of the affidavits from the case was also conducted to illustrate the specific Family Values arguments that the Surrey School Board employed. For this analysis, affidavits were divided by author and analyzed for argument content using a standardized argument format. Premise statements within affidavits were pulled out and coded according to common themes. The five argument themes that were explicated were Sexuality in the Home, Age Inappropriate, Favoring Homosexuals, Homosexuality is Immoral, and Unnecessary Resource.

Abstract:
Book banning and censorship has increased in recent years, particularly in the United States, as conservative state governments target literature and wider discourse around various matters of diversity. The team of authors—an honors scholarship mentor and two honors students—engaged in a critical reflection around the issue of book banning and its impacts on their disciplines of teacher education, biology, and elementary education. Interviews with educators and authors from episodes of the lead author's podcast, some of which were facilitated by the honors students, are cited to illustrate the authors' individual reflections. Conclusions and implications for the authors' future lines of inquiry and, more broadly, future practice in honors education at postsecondary institutions are disseminated.

Abstract:
Banning books, unfortunately, has a long history in the United States nearly always along political and religious lines. While efforts to restrict the types of books and curriculum available to students have crested and waned over the decades, we are currently in a heightened era of book banning. Developing political clout arguing against COVID-19 mitigation efforts, organizations like Moms for Liberty have expanded their vitriolic focus to banning books that highlight race, that present LGBTQ+ characters, and that take up critical thought. Fueled by politics, these organizations and some elected officials have also grounded their aims in Christian nationalism. Recognizing Christian nationalism and its influence on educational politics and policies, such as book banning, is necessary for understanding contemporary activism and division within the United States.
