The Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District in Grimes, Iowa has removed 73 books from school libraries in an attempt to comply with Iowa Senate File 496, which prohibits school libraries from having any materials with “descriptions or visual depictions of a sex act.”
The National Coalition Against Censorship has written to the school board to urge them to improve their procedures for reviewing materials they suspect to be in violation of Iowa law, ensuring that important books remain available on library shelves.
