As the right-wing book-banning movement justifies its crusade against U.S. libraries and classrooms with claims of 'parental rights,' survey data released Wednesday shows that 74% of parents agree or somewhat agree that book bans for public libraries infringe on their right to make decisions for their children.
Additionally, 87% of respondents agree or somewhat agree that 'characters in books should be diverse and reflect multiple communities,' 82% support teens having access to content on 'controversial subjects and themes,' 67% believe libraries should carry children's books that discuss topics such as racism and sex, and nearly 61% think collections should include kids' titles with LGBTQ+ characters and stories.
