As book-banning efforts threaten the First Amendment rights of students across the country, the ACLU is supporting the Fight Book Bans Act to help protect students' right to learn free from government censorship. Book bans disproportionately target stories about LGBTQ+ communities and people of color and are proven to harm students' ability to access information, learn about new perspectives, and participate in free and open discussions.
Students' First Amendment rights don't stop at the schoolhouse gates. This legislation would help protect free speech and free expression in schools by enabling the Department of Education to provide grants to the brave school districts fighting these undemocratic censorship attempts. Tell Congress: Protect students' right to learn and co-sponsor the Fight Book Bans Act today.
