The information is provided to let people know what has been banned\/challenged elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2026<\/h2>\n<p>On May 6, the South Carolina Board of Education (SCBOE) voted to ban 10 books, including <strong>Last Night at the Telegraph Club<\/strong>, from all school libraries under the authority of Regulation 43-170. This brought the total number of books banned statewide by SCBOE to 22, of which 19 were written by women.<\/p>\n<p>Under 43-170, any parent of a student attending a South Carolina school district can submit a book complaint, which will result in a statewide ban if the book includes any description of \u201csexual conduct.\u201d This was the fourth round of book bans since June 2024, when 43-170 was enacted without undergoing the standard legislative vetting process.<\/p>\n<h2>On These Pages<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>Banned<\/strong> book has been removed from a library, classroom, etc.<br \/>\nA <strong>Challenged<\/strong> book has been requested to be removed from a library, classroom, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>For additional information contact<\/h2>\n<p>Ron Titus, <a href=\"mailto:titus@marshall.edu\">titus@marshall.edu<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:304-696-6575\">304-696-6575<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Last updated<\/h2>\n<p>July 27, 2026<\/p>\n<p><!-- ** ** END RIGHT COLUMN *** *-->\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><!-- *** * END FULL PAGE DIV * *** --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":784,"featured_media":0,"parent":2039,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16087","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/784"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16087"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16101,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16087\/revisions\/16101"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
