Overview
- The Index on Censorship investigation reports the school produced AI-written justifications for a list of 193 titles it labeled inappropriate.
- Flagged books included George Orwell's 1984, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, and Michelle Obama's Becoming, with reasons ranging from sexual themes to politics.
- The librarian faced a safeguarding investigation reported to the local council, the complaint was upheld for not following procedures, and she resigned.
- The crackdown began in November 2025 after the headteacher ordered the removal of Laura Bates' Men Who Hate Women from shelves for older pupils.
- It is unclear whether AI helped pick the books or if all remain off shelves, and the school remains unnamed with no public response.
