Ban facts that I don't like. Then ban the ability to know that things can be banned. Problem solved. America, land of the free.
Now there is both a tongue and brain twister.
To really twister it up, we should lean on the alliteration and remove the excess words.
Book on book bans banned by board.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a peculiar case of life imitating art, Jennifer Pippin, a parent in the coastal community, challenged the book.
The vote happened despite the district’s book-review committee vetting the work and deciding to keep it in schools.
Pippin is also the chair of the local Moms for Liberty chapter, a far-right organization that has been behind many of the book bans that have swept across the US in recent years.
According to a 2023 PEN America report, 81% of school districts that banned books between July 2022 and June 2023 were within or adjoined a county with a local chapter of a group such as Moms for Liberty.
Besides Pippin, two of the school board members who voted in favor of banning the book, Jacqueline Rosario and Gene Posca, had support from Moms for Liberty during their campaigns.
The number of titles targeted for censorship increased by 92% over the previous year (2022), accounting for about 46% of all book challenges in 2023.
The original article contains 505 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
