Cobb Schools Removes Four More Books From Libraries

The Cobb County School District, under Superintendent Chris Ragsdale, has removed four more books from its libraries, citing them as "age-inappropriate." The titles include ‘It Ends with Us,’ ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ ‘Lucky,’ and ‘Thirteen Reasons Why’. This follows the removal of two other books in August 2023. Ragsdale emphasized the action as protecting children from explicit content, framing it as a moral issue. Here is Ragsdale on the additional book bans:

However, some parents, like Sharon Hudson, criticized the move, defending media specialists' expertise and accusing the board of overstepping. Here is Hudson on the additional book bans:

Ragsdale countered criticism by denying that the district is banning books, likening the removals to restricting access to movies not suitable for children, and stated the process aims to ensure no inappropriate materials are in school libraries.
