Pennsylvania's Central York School District is denying that it ever banned Girls Who Code books after PEN America's Index of School Book Bans was updated to include four titles from the series as having been restricted by the district.
Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani raised attention to the update over the weekend, posting on Twitter, "I woke up this morning to a news alert that our Girls Who Code middle-grade book series was banned by some school districts as part of the Mom for Liberty effort to ban books. To be honest, I am so angry I cannot breathe."
The four Girls Who Code books on the PEN America list include Team BFF: Race to the Finish! By Stacia Deutsch, The Friendship Code by Stacia Deutsch, Spotlight on Coding Club! by Michelle Schusterman, and Lights, Music, Code! By Jo Whittemore.
