"Beaufort, SC Schools Return Most Banned Books After '60 Minutes' Feature"

TL;DR Summary
Beaufort, South Carolina, faced a battle over the banning of 97 books from its public schools, with most of the books featuring minority, LGBTQ+, and sexually explicit content. The attempt to ban the books was driven by a conservative group, Moms for Liberty, which has been part of a national trend of book bans in schools. The community ultimately engaged in a year-long process involving volunteers, teachers, and librarians to review and vote on the books, resulting in the return of 92 books to the schools. The incident highlighted the clash between parental rights, diversity, and censorship in education.
