Book banning is at an all-time high in the United States.

While book banning has increased in recent years, driven by a conservative culture war, it is not new in America.

Most recent bannings and attempts focus on books which address gender, LGBTQIA+, and racial identities in age-appropriate fashion. These include Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe (a comic memoir of nonbinary identity), All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.
