South Carolina has implemented one of the most restrictive book ban regulations in the US, enabling mass censorship in school classrooms and libraries across the state.
Drafted by the Department of Education, which is led by Ellen Weaver, a close ally of the far-right group Moms for Liberty, the regulation requires all reading material to be “age or developmentally appropriate”. The wording of the legislation could see titles as classic as Romeo and Juliet completely wiped from school shelves.
