If you want to get an idea of what books are being banned in schools without the noise of individual school districts, here is Utah's statewide list

"A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas
"A Court of Frost and Starlight" by Sarah J. Maas
"A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas
"A Court of Silver Flames" by Sarah J. Maas
"A Court of Wings and Ruin" by Sarah J. Maas
"Empire of Storms" by Sarah J. Maas
"What Girls are Made of" by Elana K. Arnold
"Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur
"Forever" by Judy Blume
"Tilt" by Ellen Hopkins
"Fallout (Crank, Book 3)" by Ellen Hopkins
"Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood
"Blankets" by Craig Thompson

My tween would be furious about the Sarah J Maas books, but you could make a good curriculum without the other books. Of course, I'm sure the local districts have far longer lists and that local book stores have banned books sections that do a brisk business   [/quote]
