book banning

Book banning is the act of removing or restricting access to specific books, often because certain groups or individuals find their content controversial, inappropriate, or sensitive. This process can occur in libraries, schools, or bookstores and is typically driven by concerns over morality, politics, religion, or cultural values. While some argue it protects certain communities or moral standards, critics believe it infringes on freedom of expression and access to diverse ideas. Overall, book banning involves regulating or prohibiting books, raising important questions about censorship and free speech.
