The Dark Side of Tennessee's Book Banning Law The decision by Knox County Schools (KCS) to ban Alex Haley's novel "Roots" from its library shelves under a 2022 state law has sparked widespread outrage.
This move is part of a larger trend in Tennessee, which has become the third highest book banning state in the country.
At issue is the Age Appropriate Materials Act, designed to give parents and guardians more control over what books their children read.
