While the US is banning Girl Coding books: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/26/pennsylvania...


From the article:

'A statement from officials in that district on Monday strongly denied that they had banned the book series.

“The information published in this article is categorically false,” the district’s statement said while linking to a Business Insider interview with the founder of Girls Who Code which reported the ban. “This book series not been banned, and they remain available in our libraries.”'

According to some Amazon reviews about the books, there are statements about how there being fewer women coders than men is a social injustice, which is apparently why people are upset about the book series. But it seems like it's still easily obtainable if people really want to get it
