Abstract | The public debate regarding problematic ideas and personal autonomy has cascaded into classrooms over the last two years, as families and politicians demand more control over what youth are learning. One approach to limiting exposure to perceived harmful or controversial content has been to remove it completely. In this paper, the authors present the blueprint for a ninth-grade inquiry that focuses on book bans. Through a series of questions, tasks, and sources, students first consider what makes books worth reading, then analyze arguments for banning particular kinds of books, and explore reasons why and how students are organizing to resist book bans.
