Spilka, J. (2022). 377 Book Challenges Tracked by ALA in 2019--and
the Problem Is Growing: Book
Banning and Its Adverse Effects on Students. Knowledge Quest, 50(5),
30-.
Summary:
Spilka (2022) suggests that book banning not only misrepresents student voices,
but some parents as well. Furthermore,
it points to several student victory cases who have prevailed against bans or
censorship. The article concludes with the
“adverse effects of book bans” and then future Florida legislation.
Evaluation: The structure and diction were at an appropriate level for
stressed students who have previously read eight plus articles prior to and
useful. Its value came from the citing
of several recent cases where students have fought back. However, the adverse effects were
subpar. It did not contribute to previously
known reasons.

Interesting Line: “…banning a book is like banning an opportunity.”
