The vast majority of Americans think books should not be banned from schools for discussing race, slavery or political ideas they disagree with.

A nationally representative survey from CBS News and YouGov that polled U.S. adults in mid-February found that 85% of Americans do not think books should be banned from schools if they contain political ideas they disagree with. Similarly 87% do not support banning books containing discussions of race or slavery. And 83% dont think books should be banned for criticizing people and events in U.S. history either.

These large majorities against book bans hold regardless of respondents political party or race.

This poll comes amid Republican-led efforts to ban books from school libraries across the country.

Last month, a local school board in Tennessee banned Maus, a book about the horrors of the Holocaust , citing concerns about objectionable language and nudity. And a school board in Missouri removed Toni Morrisons The Bluest Eye, about American racism in the 1940s, from its high school libraries. In Texas , an NBC report found that hundreds of books had been pulled from school libraries across the state for review after conservative parents and officials pushed to ban books on race, sexuality and gender.
