"Lady Chatterley's Lover" Is Among These Iconic Books That Have Been Banned

George M. Johnson's "All Boys Aren't Blue" ($14) was the third-most-challenged book of 2021, according to the American Library Association. Written for an audience of high-school-aged teens and older, Johnson's book focuses on their experiences of growing up Black and queer, telling stories from their real life and helping others feel less alone. The book's depiction of LGBTQ+ experiences, race, profanity, and sexuality has led to it being challenged and banned by numerous libraries and school boards across several states.
