It’s 2023 and books are being banned across the United States. Universities and High Schools across the country have gathered together to express their views on the tragedy that is the war on education. Some of the books being banned are classics like The Giver, The Kite Runner, and The New Jim Crow.
Why are book bans taking place? Simple. There’s an erasure of history happening and the target is any book educating the reader on the realities of marginalized people. Everything from the genocide of Native Americans to the political career and assassination of Harvey Milk is under attack in this book ban.
