A Texas school district in the Rio Grande Valley agreed to remove 676 books, including ones like Anne Frank's Diary, Maus, and The Fixer, following demands from conservative groups focused on issues of sexuality, race, and the inclusion of books with Jewish themes.

In South Carolina, a parent affiliated with Moms for Liberty, a conservative group, sought to remove nearly 100 books from local school shelves, including Bernard Malamud's novel "The Fixer," citing explicit content concerns.
