ACLU of Tennessee lawsuit looks to stop book bans in Rutherford County

Apr 17 2025

The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee filed a lawsuit April 16 against the Rutherford County Board of Education in response to the banning and restriction of more than 140 books from school libraries in that Tennessee county. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Tennessee at Nashville, was brought on behalf of three Rutherford County families and PEN America, and alleges that the bans are illegal and a violation of First Amendment rights.
