Estudiantes de Elizabethtown protestan contra la retirada constante de libros por parte del consejo escolar

Los estudiantes de secundaria en Elizabethtown, Pensilvania, han comenzado a realizar protestas semanales frente a su escuela para oponerse a la prohibición de libros y a los recortes en la financiación de las bibliotecas por parte del consejo escolar local. Las acciones, que comenzaron en enero de 2026, continúan a medida que los estudiantes rechazan los recientes cambios en el plan de estudios.

Los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria Elizabethtown Area han protestado cada semana desde el 20 de enero de 2026 contra las decisiones de la junta directiva del distrito escolar de Elizabethtown Area. En octubre de 2025, la junta votó por unanimidad retirar del plan de estudios títulos como El castillo de cristal de Jeannette Walls y El odio que das de Angie Thomas, alegando temas para adultos. Otros libros propuestos, como Mil veces hasta siempre de John Green, también fueron rechazados posteriormente.
