The country's largest book publisher says it doesn't see a court ruling that reinstated Iowa's book ban law as a complete setback. Penguin Random House, a major publishing company, is involved in one of two federal lawsuits challenging Senate File 496, a sweeping education law signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds in 2023. penguinrandomhouse is joined by several other plaintiffs, including the Iowa State Education Association, Iowa educators and authors whose books were banned. iowasafeschools, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, and the acluofiowa are leading a separate but overlapping lawsuit. The cases were filed in November and a federal district court judge issued a temporary injunction blocking parts of the law in December. Federal appeals court judges overturned the injunction in August and sent the case back to district court for further action. The ruling leaves the door open to striking down the book ban once again.
