Stop the Purge of Library Books in South Carolina
The State Department of Education needs to fix its overly broad book banning regulation (43-170) which has led the State BOE to ban numerous books.
Why is this important?
The South Carolina State Board of Education (BOE) recently banned seven books from all public schools in the state.
Because the State Department of Education passed an overly broad book banning regulation in July (43-170), State BOE members were not required to read the books before voting to ban them.
Sign and Share this petition and tell the State to fix the regulation so that books can’t be banned based on excerpts taken out of context, and without the common sense consideration of a book's overall literary value.
