Following allegations of sexual misconduct against David Walliams, several schools have opted to remove his books from their libraries. Head teachers are grappling with the decision, as some believe keeping the books could be distressing for students. The controversy has prompted calls for national guidance from the government to standardize responses across schools.
Public libraries are also facing pressure to withdraw Walliams' titles, with varying responses from local councils. While some councils have chosen to keep the books available, others have decided to store them or limit their display in light of the allegations.
