Book Challenges
Amy Magnafichi Strong, Moderator, IATE Intellectual Freedom Committee ChairStaley 146
While Illinois schools and libraries enjoy broad protections against book bans, parents and community members bring challenges nevertheless. Panelists will discuss their experiences with book challenges. What books in the curriculum or library have been challenged? On what grounds? How have they addressed challenges to those books? What measure of success have they had in defending the challenge?

- Bayyinah Bey, Chicago Public Schools
