December 1…Book Banning
Find something recent from the news about book banning/censorship. You can relate it to the New Kid situation or feel free to write about anything you want to think about/discuss related to the topic.
Nadia- Book banning is becoming more and more popular with the certain political climate the world is growing into, but at the same time, more and more people are advocating for the right to have books about diversity. The book we read in class, New Kid, is banned in Texas schools because it includes racism. It’s important for students and young people to learn about the past so we can change the future, and not including a significant moment in history is going to set children up and the future for disaster in this world.
Erica Leia- The rise in the banning of books is really concerning. There are so many students who are not receiving a proper education because of the laws that are being passed. I also believe this causes even more division in this country. I believe that it is important for students to have the opportunity to read books like new kid in hopes that it would make them feel less alone and represented.
Kaila- Book bans aren't a new thing to occur but have definately surged and targeted certain ideas and information. During July of this year almost 600 books were banned from the Department of Defense Education Activity, schools on military bases. This ban was justified by Trumps executive orders: “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling,” “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism,” and “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing.” This ban restricted books that included diversity, Native American history, LGBTQ+ people, "un-american ideas" and much more important topics. It is important for students to be educated and understand these topics. Students and their families responded by suing!!!!
Lee- The rise of book banning in the United States heavily mirrors the book bans during the fascist regime in 1920s Germany.Trump's decision to ban certain books from the shelves of school libraries, ranging from bodily autonomy, diversity, personal identity, and history in general, mimics a certain German fascist dictator's agenda almost too closely. This choice to pull hundred of titles from school libraries' shelves will destroy future generations' abilities to think freely, to accept diverse perspectives, and increase apathy towards ways of life that are not deemed "normal" to cisgender, white men in power. Through the exclusion of important titles such as New Kid- these books which tell stories for and by people who rarely get representation in many aspects of their daily life- there will be rises in hostility towards these people and anyone who isn't considered an average American. Social othering will escalate in public, as children won't have much exposure outside of their daily life to the various perspectives and lives of those who are not in close proximity to them at all time. Children learn from regular exposure to new concepts and ideas. Eliminating the possibility for kids to learn about how other children are treated, how they should be treating others with respect and dignity, they will never fully develop as compassionate adults. Destroying the history of how people of many lives were treated years ago will only result in tears.
Kennedy- Book Banning has been happening a lot. In Tennessee Librarians and publishers are alarmed as the Tennessee Libraries got shut down for GOP 'Book Purge'. People believe that they are banning these books because some people simply don't like what the book is about and that is not how things work. I feel like if you don't like what the book is about then you don't have to read. Kind of out of sight out of mind. People are mad because it isn't just one library it is throughout 131 libraries. They believe that certain topics shouldn't be talked about or let alone be in books. Books are meant to educate the readers. They are trying to put their views on what the library should and should not do. In my opinion they should just watch what their kids are reading rather than trying to remove it from libraries.
Jordy- A new report from PEN America shows that book banning in U.S. schools has become almost normal, with nearly 7,000 bans recorded this school year alone, mostly targeting books about race, identity, and sexuality. What stood out to me is how similar this is to the New Kid situation, where a book got challenged not because of actual harmful content, but because some people didn’t like the topics it brought up. The report explains that a lot of these bans happen quietly, which means the real number is probably even higher. To me, this kind of censorship is harmful because it removes stories that help students understand different perspectives and their own experiences. Instead of encouraging discussion, it shuts it down, and that ends up shaping what kids are allowed to learn and think about.
Blanca Maldonado- a lot of schools across the U.S. have been banning books, especially ones that talk about race, identity, or LGBTQ+ characters—kind of like what happened with New Kid. Groups of adults, not just parents, are pushing schools to remove these books, which means students miss out on stories that reflect real life and different experiences. But some students and even judges are fighting back and getting the books put back on shelves. Overall, it’s becoming a big debate about who gets to decide what stories young people are allowed to read.
Micayla - A study done by Pen America says that between the years of 2021 to 2024, 22,810 books have been banned in U.S. public schools. Politicians bully school leaders into censoring certain topics according to their own ideologies rather than "looking out" for the kids. While reading New Kid I did not see any reason why it should be a banned book. I just follows a kid that comes from a mostly poc environment to a pwi. It documents experiences that happen everyday but this book calls those behaviors out rather than just pushing it under the rug. For reference when their teacher kept calling Drew by the wrong name. It was comical yes but in reality it would really bother you if your teacher couldn't remember your name. This book was about experiences and it was not attacking anyone but it was banned. I feel as though books are banned out of spite rather than to "protect".
Jana - Book banning has become a lot more prevalent and "controversial" in these recent years, coinciding with the change in president. Most of these books don't even have anything overtly offensive or criminal, it just doesn't align with certain people's ideologies and most of them think everyone has to follow their own personal feelings. These kinds of influences are so dangerous to schools because it can remove amazing, critical, and overall beneficial books from the curriculum, negatively affecting the students.
Kenzie- For as long as books have been around, so has book banning/censorship so the term isn't completly new for me. From the University of Michigan Library, they held a book banned week from October 5th -11th reading and advocating for the freedom to read diverse literature. Banned books such as Ghost Boys (banned for racial topics), Sold (banned for LGBTQ+ themes) and 1984 (banned frequently). What I found interesting was that the NAACP states that “Texas is the state that has banned the most books. In total, Texas has banned more than 800 books in 22 school districts.” I found it interesting, but I’m also not super surprised because we briefly discussed that Texas has banned the graphic novel book “New Kid.”
Noah - In 2025, Texas passed Senate Bill 13, which gives school boards and parent-majority advisory councils the power to review and approve all school library books. The Texas Tribune explains that this removes librarians from the decision-making process and makes it easier for certain groups to block books. This connects to The Revisionaries because both involve small groups controlling what students can access or learn. It shows how policy changes can quietly limit information and reduce diverse perspectives in schools.
Marissa- I find it sad that some kids will never get to experience relating to a character culturally due to book bans. This lack of relativity is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cons of book bans. They take away valuable lessons for children as well as underestimate students’ intellect. Some books are deemed inappropriate whether that be because of mentions of sex, LGBTQ+ community, race issues, etc. I believe that books should be challenging. Some children don’t have exposure to some of these issues. Through books they can understand what their peers go through and gain a newfound empathy.
Victoria - A recent PEN America report shows that U.S. schools issued nearly 7,000 book bans in the 2024–25 school year, with most bans happening in Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. This reflects a growing normalization of censorship, often targeting books about race and identity — the same kinds of themes that caused controversy around New Kid.
Landon- Book banning to me is incredibly frustrating. I dont believe that any knowledge should be hidden from children. Things like unfortunate US history, LGBTQ people existing and the fact that racism is alive in America are all important topics for children to know about. I know I want my children to hear about these things. Reading new kid, as a white person, I cannot understand how anyone would interpret Jordan's struggles as "anti-white rhetoric." Many kids like Jordan exsit and representation is very important.
Book banning has been going on for a long time, but with the rise of the alt right group “Moms for Liberty” it has risen specifically in Virginia. Books that showcase experiences that are different than others have been banned and anything related to lgbt experiences has turned into an argument around what sex is and if it is appropriate to show diverse experiences to children.
Imani - Book banning has been on the rise across the U.S., especially in states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. An ABC News report points out that these book bans are becoming the new norm in schools. PEN America found that there have been 6,870 bans in 23 states during the 2024-2025 school year. A lot of these documented books deal with race or LGBTQ+ identities. Similar to the challenges against the book New Kid, these bans end up silencing a wide range of voices instead of protecting students. Taking away books can limit how people see the world, and keep them available to help foster empathy and inclusion.
Parker - Book banning has continued to rise across the country, and a lot of the books being targeted deal with topics like race, identity, and history. Recently, PEN America reported thousands of books were removed from school libraries this year, including many that talk about diversity or feature characters of color. This reminds me of New Kid and how it was banned in some places for addressing racism, even though that’s exactly why it’s important for people to read it so they can educate themselves. When schools take away books that reflect real experiences, it limits how much students can learn about the world around them.
Seniece - Lately, a lot of schools have been banning books, especially ones that talk about race, identity, or real experiences kind of like what happened with New Kid. I don’t think these bans really protect students; they just stop us from learning about different kinds of people and situations. When schools remove these books, it makes it feel like only certain voices and stories matter. In the end, this hurts students because it keeps us from understanding others and seeing the world in a more open way.
Dakota - Book banning is something that is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. The article I read talked about the former Denver Dean of Students being fired because she opposed a book ban, calling it unethical and racist. Many books are being banned that showcase topics of racism and sexism, under the guise of it being "violent" and "uneducational". I think that is not true and learning about different types of discrimination help prevent it and show young children that certain behavior is not okay.
Hanna- Banning books I feel cause students to become curious and want to seek out the material more. Censorship because certain books like New Kid talk about race is really off putting to me. While children are taught to treat everyone the same, parents that don't educate their children then results in their children to be ignorant. Ignoring the issues and banning books won't stop people for advocating, I really enjoyed New Kid and relate to it a lot more then I would have thought.
(Kendal H) - Banning books always arose feelings of frustration and annoyance in me. New Kid is an incredibly tame book in its depiction of a student of color and his experiences with racism, discovering it was banned and the reasons why it got banned only furthered these feelings. It reminded me of a very similar situation a few years ago where the graphic novel Maus, a story about a Holocaust survivor's experiences told from the perspective of his son, got banned. I think there's this idea where if you hide an aspect of life or history, it'll erase the damage that was done. I have to assume this is the reasoning behind banning such tame yet important books from children. Heaven forbid children learn being racist or a Nazi is bad!
Kameron- Something recent I found about this was a federal judge ordered the immediate return of nearly 600 books removed from five military base schools, including titles on race and gender. The ruling sided with military families who sued, stating the removal was driven by partisan political interest not educational suitability. I feel this relates a lot to the book "New Kid" receiving a ban across the state of Texas due to incomplete circumstances
Cheylsi - In the 2024-2025 school year, almost 7,000 books were banned in US public schools alone. Book banning removes the opportunity for growth, and people learning from their mistakes and students picking up on that. Acting as if we live in a perfect world is extremely flawed and raises coddled people,and those who lack accountability. Why should people have to limit what they say ( in the adult world of course) to protect the feelings of those threatened? Diverse literature was what makes America s country for those to learn from, so they don't make the same mistakes.
Brandon- Book censorship is definitely interesting because it keeps real information and truths away from children as they are growing up. Children not being able to access certain topic makes it so that they are uneducated about certain topics that they need to be educated about.
This class has been really eye-opening. I now notice school-related tropes in the media more easily and can understand their origins. It’s helped me make sense of my own feelings about schooling and recognize when these common portrayals cross into problematic territory.
Uzziel- Book banning has become a growing concern, especially in Tennessee, where 131 libraries were affected by what some are calling a GOP “book purge.” Many believe books are being removed simply because people disagree with their content, which isn’t how libraries should operate. If a reader doesn’t like a book, they can choose not to read it; there's no need to remove it entirely. Libraries exist to educate and provide access to diverse ideas, not to enforce particular viewpoints. In my view, parents should monitor what their own children are reading instead of restricting access for everyone.
Jasper - Nearly 400 books were banned/removed from libraries in Florida, but almost 84% of those books were banned only in Clay Country, Florida. From what I can find about Clay County, they're a largely white county with a very low college graduation rate. I think this shows (at least to me), that a lot of people don't like the idea of banning books. A select set of people really try to champion the idea of banning books, and find great success in concentrated areas, but struggle once they reach larger groups of people.
Lizzie Dorsey - a recent PEN report claims that "never in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country. Never before have so many states passed laws or regulations to facilitate the banning of books, including bans on specific titles statewide." Most people can agre e that some books with adult and explicit themes should not be available in elementary school libraries. The true problem arises when censorship is done to deliberately erase history, change a narrative, or influence students to adhere to your worldview. The seperation of church and state is important with topics like these, as a lack of seperation would be unconstitutional.
Nathan-I found from A PENS report that over 6000 books were banned this year, which needs to change, the pushback against racial and LGBTQ+ literture needs to be halted.
