Teacher’s viral TikTok shows just how much work it takes to comply with state’s new book law

A Tennessee grade school teacher’s TikTok video about the byzantine process of screening classroom books for “age appropriateness” has gone viral.

In the clip, the teacher describes having to spend a Saturday in her classroom cataloguing each and every book for approval. The process involves listing what could be hundreds, or even thousands, of books by title and author, then submitting the list to the school librarian to check against lists of approved and unapproved books.

Books that are not on the school library’s approved list must then be reviewed by another administrator. Teachers must then post a list of all approved books in their classrooms for parents to review and potentially challenge.
