Abstract

Across the country, GOP legislators, parent groups, and school boards are banning books and attempting to take away the power of children’s literature. The resistance comes in the form of book bans and Critical Race Theory legislation. Taking away diverse books or banning the conversations that accompany such books from happening prevents books from being windows, mirrors, or sliding glass doors for students.
