    The big story: Book bans in Florida schools decreased in the past year, an anti-censorship group says.

    The reason why remains unclear.

    Some speculate that the losses of Moms for Liberty supported candidates signaled a weariness in local communities with the organization’s hot-button issues. Another possibility is that all the challenged books are gone.

    Still, the American Library Association intends to remain vigilant in what it calls an ongoing fight.
