Headline: Des Moines Register, 1/12/2024
In late December, U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Locher granted an injunction on two key pieces of Senate File 496, a sweeping new education law that Gov. Kim Reynolds signed in May, while legal challenges continue. Other parts of the law remain in effect, including a requirement that school districts notify families if their child requests a different name or pronoun to affirm their gender identity.
The law has prompted school districts to remove at least 470 unique titles from schools, according to a Des Moines Register database built on public records requests. The books include controversial LGBTQ memoirs with sexual scenes, classic American novels, popular young adult fiction, novels commonly read in AP courses, nonfiction books about historical events, children's books with LGBTQ themes and more.
