Survey: K-12 Educators Self-Censor Book Choices to Avoid Controversy
Original: Survey Finds K-12 Educators Self-Censor to Avoid Controversy over Book Selections
A survey of K-12 educators finds many teachers and librarians are self-censoring their book selections to avoid controversy with parents, administrators, or communities. The findings suggest concerns over challenges to school and library materials are shaping classroom reading choices even before formal complaints are made. The research was reported by the University of Connecticut, which conducted the study.
Why now: Ongoing national debates over book bans and school library content are drawing attention to new research on teacher behavior.
