book bans
Utah has banned four additional books from all public schools, increasing the total number of prohibited titles to 32. The new additions, made late last week, include Life Is Funny by E.R. Frank, The Haters by Jesse Andrews, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and People Kill People by Ellen Hopkins. This development follows the implementation of House Bill 29 in 2024.
