Iowa court struggle over SF 496 book ban and gender identity rules
The 8th Circuit lifted an injunction on Iowa’s 2023 law banning certain sexual content from K-12 books and barring teaching of gender identity in early grades. The case, involving ACLU Lambda, Iowa Safe Schools, publishers, and Des Moines teachers, argues the law chills speech and harms student mental health. It faces renewed challenges citing Moody v Netchoice as districts report book removals and guidance gaps.
