Fight Book Bans Act

This bill would let the U.S. Secretary of Education give grants to local school districts and schools to repay costs they face when someone challenges their decision to keep a book or teaching material available. The grants would cover costs such as attorneys' fees and court costs from appeals or court cases, if the state or another party has not already paid them. A school district could receive up to $100,000 for each decision being challenged. The Secretary would have to award grants without considering the content of the material involved, and the bill authorizes a total of $15 million for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
