US school book bans hit record 12,000 titles in 2025-26; King most affected

PEN America reports a record 12,000 book bans in US public schools for 2025-26, with Stephen King the most targeted author. The surge reflects ongoing conservative-led censorship efforts in education, though the data is from a single advocacy group and may not capture all districts. This signals sustained political polarization over curriculum and library content.
