The upcoming review by the South Carolina Instructional Materials Review Committee is set for March 10, with potential total bans reaching 21 books. Critics argue that the vague regulation regarding ‘sexual conduct’ in educational materials creates confusion. This move adds to the growing list of banned books, now totaling 11 in state schools.
Beaufort, South Carolina – Elizabeth “Ivie” Szalai, a local resident, has initiated a request for the potential banning of ten additional books from public schools in South Carolina. This comes following her earlier attempt to challenge 97 books at the district level.
The South Carolina Instructional Materials Review Committee is scheduled to review the ten contested books on March 10 at 1 p.m. A decision will be made by the state’s 15-member board later. If approved, the total number of books banned could reach 21.
According to Regulation 43-170, public schools can ban books if they include descriptions or visual depictions of sexual conduct. Szalai’s previous efforts resulted in the banning of four books in January, marking a noteworthy victory for her campaign.
A significant aspect of this process is that local school district officials did not respond to Szalai’s prior challenges within the required 90-day window, leading to intervention at the state level.
The current list of ten books under review includes:
With the recent developments, the total number of banned books in South Carolina public schools has now reached 11. The official banned titles include:
On February 4, the South Carolina Board of Education voted to ban four previously contested books, contributing to the total count of banned titles. Parents can challenge up to five books monthly in public school libraries, promoting accountability in educational content.
Critics of the regulation argue that its language is vague, creating confusion over what constitutes “sexual conduct” in educational materials. Decisions on book bans will take into account descriptions of sexual content found within the literature.
