Summary | "The debate over what should be allowed and what should be censored can confuse the public and those tasked with enforcing these policies. Banning books, legislating what can be taught in classrooms, and blocking social media posts are examples of actions occurring nationwide and causing confusion in communities. These situations have sparked an intense debate over what censorship is and how it is being used in today's society"-- |
