From WBIR.com:
The Tennessee General Assembly has released a list of banned books that will be removed from Knox County public school libraries after the school district reviewed submitted concerns from parents in the community and decided to pull the materials off shelves.
The released list contains 48 books that it says fail to comply with the Age Appropriate Materials Act, and is the first to be released to the public since new restrictions on library materials went into effect earlier this year. In July 2024, a Tennessee law adding specific restrictions to the Age Appropriate Materials Act was passed by the Tennessee legislature, requiring all Tennessee schools to remove books that did not meet new requirements from the shelves.
