TL;DR

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.
