Read Up on Banned Books with Bloom’s Literature

You’ve no doubt heard about it in the news: a massive uptick in book challenges in institutions nationwide. The American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom tracked more than 1,269 challenges to library, school, and university materials and services in 2022 alone—an unprecedented amount compared to previous years. But why? And what books were banned in the past? One cannot discuss the history of great literature without discussing efforts to ban or restrict the reading of more controversial works. Bloom’s Literature, our award-winning literature database, gives students and researchers the content they need most—including articles on the history of book censorship, must-reads for Banned Books Week.  Learn the History of Banned Books The works covered in these articles include renowned classics like The Great Gatsby, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The Bluest Eye, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl as well as newer works such as Maus I and II, The Hate U Give, and Thirteen Reasons Why. For many of these titles, readers will also find a wide range of related reference essays and scholarly criticism as well, helping students and researchers understand them in a broader context.  What Is

Prevent Bullying: Resources to Build a More Inclusive Classroom

Many of us remember being excluded when we were young, and the psychological scars left behind can be devastating. So, how can we, as educators, help stop bullying—including cyberbullying—before it starts? Promoting an inclusive environment is a great start, as bullying is often linked to different forms of social inequity, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. Instilling and encouraging empathy is also key; when students can put themselves into another student’s shoes, there’s a good chance they’ll be less likely to inflict abuse.  National Bullying Prevention Month calls attention to this issue, but we need to be aware and proactive all year long. Turn to Infobase for content that can help you build a more inclusive classroom, where every student feels safe and accepted. Streaming Video Allows Students to Hear Other Students’ Stories Firsthand Classroom Video On Demand for secondary schools and the award-winning Learn360 for K–12 schools and districts have a wide variety of educational videos that address important issues related to bullying and can help build and reinforce empathy by allowing students to see different perspectives firsthand in a format that entertains, informs, and enlightens them.  Here are just some of the videos you’ll find on these

The Five Most Common Cancers in Children

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. First recognized in October 1990, the month of September was officially designated Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in 2019 by Congress. Childhood cancer, or pediatric cancer, occurs in children and teenagers between the ages of 0 to 19. It is the number one cause of death by disease in children in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that approximately 15,000 children and teens are diagnosed with cancer annually in the United States. Prevalence of Childhood Cancer The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 9,910 children under the age of 15 and 5,280 adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer in 2023. Out of these, 1,040 children and 500 adolescents will die from the disease. However, the prognosis for children and adolescents has improved over the years. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in the 1970s, 58 percent of children aged 0 to 14 and 68 percent of adolescents aged 15 to 19 survived for at least five years after a cancer diagnosis. The percentage increased between 2011 and 2017: 84.7 percent of children aged 0 to 14 and 85.9 percent of adolescents aged 15 to 19 survived for at
