Carroll officially bans 3 books from school shelves; parental permission required for 4 others

Carroll County public schools officials have made final decisions on 10 of the 58 books that Superintendent Cynthia McCabe ordered removed from library shelves last month amid challenges from the Carroll County chapter of Moms for Liberty. “A Court of Thorns and Roses,” by Sarah Maas, and “Water for Elephants,” by Sara Gruen, were both banned from school shelves by the decision of the superintendent-appointed Reconsideration Committee on Sept. 15.
