Despite “some very high-profile outlets” reporting on efforts to ban books in libraries, “public awareness of this issue is extremely low.” At Knowledge Quest, Steve Tetreault expresses that “book challenge fatigue” hit him all over again when he saw a post to Twitter by account-holder Mrs. Singer.
“I learned over the holiday weekend that laypeople think that a book challenge and a reading challenge are the same thing. Alas, no.”Tetreault opines that “[M]ost Americans prefer intellectual freedom, representation, and honesty for all our students. And they don’t realize those preferences are being undercut. Taking a moment to let them know could make a tremendous difference for our students.”
