South Carolina prohibits 10 more books from all public schools for the whole country

Due to Regulation 43-170 (R-43-170), content decisions in school libraries are in the hands of the Ministry of Education in South Carolina. The materials that are considered to be “descriptions of sexual content” inappropriate for schools and should be eliminated. What this phrase means is deliberately unclear, which allows the opinion of a small number of people in the country to decide on behalf of all students and parents across the country.

The South Carolina Ministry of Education, led by Ellen Weaver – who uses taxpayer money to hire a lawyer to support this school book, banning the bill – filed a Material Review Committee (IMRC) where any parent in the country can file complaints. This allowed people to exercise considerable power in what is offered not only in their public schools but also in schools throughout the country.

The ten books voted in the list of banned titles, all were challenged in the school district of Beopher District in 2023. Each of them was voted by the school review committee and allowed to remain on the shelves of the region. One parent, Elizabeth Salai, stood behind the demands to remove nearly 100 titles triggered in Beopher County schools, including the above-mentioned headlines just banned by the state. With the new law of South Carolina, she and others like her now have the opportunity to take their complaints beyond their own school neighborhood and potentially have downloaded books All State schools in the country. Salai also stood behind the complaints that led to the country that banned four books in February.

One parent had enormous power to ban books throughout the country. One parent is responsible for taking out students’ right to have access to books At every public school in South CarolinaS

The complaints of each of the books, both forbidden and reserved, are available the website of the Ministry of Education in South Carolina (here’s where the final decisions and related documents live and here are where the solutions and related documents that live – it matters that the time between the decision and the update of the lists may not be fully relevant to be updated. Take the time to read them and understand that these decisions are made about conspiracy theories and passages that have spread by mothers for freedom and similar groups. A member of the Council in today’s meeting suggested that some of the titles in question could be used by older students or librarians to “indoctrinate” to younger people.

For all arguments for “local control”, the power given to the State Council of Education to remove books throughout the country is the exact opposite. The Ministry of Education in South Carolina is the arbitrator of what is and is not available to students in public institutions throughout the country, not to those who live or work in these communities.
