This book provides a practical, research-based road map for educators to navigate restrictive policies and maintain diverse, inclusive classrooms.

Books are being ripped from shelves, curricula redacted, and instruction forbidden at an unprecedented scale. As political polarization turns children's literature into a proxy for national culture wars, educators are left navigating sweeping, last-minute changes to their classrooms that threaten the inclusion of diverse voices.

Ban Censorship, Not Books provides a vital bottom-up challenge to these restrictive policies by spotlighting the firsthand accounts of community members resisting censorship. Grounded in the real-world experiences of Iowa educators who successfully navigated the virulent Senate File 496, author Josh Coleman introduces the Local Resistance Framework (LRF). This flexible model empowers educators by helping them to know the law, understand their specific context, assess risk, and more.

This is a road map for any educator or community member determined to champion intellectual freedom. Through from-teacher-for-teacher strategies and discipline-specific approaches for curriculum redesign, this book ensures that teachers can sustain an expansive, diversity-rich environment for their students, even in the most restrictive educational contexts.
