Banning books
- Censoring books
Description
Banning books involves the deliberate removal, restriction, or prohibition of specific publications from libraries, schools, or public access, typically to prevent exposure to content deemed objectionable, harmful, or subversive. This strategy aims to protect individuals or groups from perceived moral, political, or cultural threats, maintain social order, and uphold community standards. It is implemented through legal, institutional, or administrative measures as a remedy to concerns about inappropriate, offensive, or destabilizing material.
