URBANDALE, Iowa — The Urbandale School District is rolling back its process of banning nearly 400 books from classrooms. On Thursday the Urbandale School District announced it would now only be banning 65 books. Earlier this week the district announced it would be banning 382 books to comply with Senate File 496, which banned any book that contained topics like gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual acts. In a press release, the school district said the previous guidance on banned books was no longer relevant.
