Title:
Silencing voices: Book Bans, Cancel Culture, and Other Forms of Censorship
Level:
Grades 6-12
Summary:
Free speech has been a bedrock principle of American life since the founding of the country. But in recent years, a surge in different forms of censorship has led to heated debates about the meaning and limits of this fundamental right. This book examines these trends in a clear, thoughtful way to help readers gain a deep understanding of the issues at stake.
