Book bans on the rise in Texas public school libraries

Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the US has seen a significant increase in book censorship. According to PEN America, more than 6,800 book bans have been recorded, with works by Stephen King now topping the list. He holds the unwanted title of the most banned author in the United States. In Texas, public school libraries have become the front line of an unprecedented political battle over free speech. FRANCE 24’s Pierrick Leurent and Valérie Defert report.
