Book Bannings in America, Mapped

Banned Books Week has a mashup of all the book bans (and resulting challenges) in the Lower 48 over the last two years. Anyone expecting a certain, er, geographical censorship concentration might be in for a surprise: Brooklyn and the Bay Area, for instance, are represented right alongside the more stereotypical suspects.

0 in Arkansas or Utah, but many on the Eastern Seaboard? Another bad day for the stereotypers.

That map is loaded with false and misleading information. No books have been banned in the USA for about a half a century. See “National Hogwash Week.” It’s sad to see American Library Association propaganda so willingly rebroadcast.
