Man, if you can't see the difference between government allowing citizens to have access to something and the government providing access to that something in a public setting, I don't know what to tell you.

I'll try this way: Public school classrooms do not start off the day with a Bible verse. Does that mean that the Bible has been "banned?" It's a book too, you know.

According to PEN America, nearly 23,000 book-ban cases have been documented in public schools across the U.S. since 2021.

What’s worse, not all bans or removals are publicly reported — many happen quietly at the school or district level. Reported cases are likely only a fraction of actual bans.

Bans are primarily in these areas:

1. Graphic novels / illustrated books / comics — especially those dealing with sexuality, identity, LGBTQ+ themes, etc.

2. Memoirs / autobiographical works (especially by or about marginalized people) — e.g. books about personal experiences with race, sexuality, identity, coming-of-age, trauma.

3. Social-issue fiction or nonfiction — works dealing with race, racism, gender, sexuality, mental health, violence, social justice, identity, etc.

I wouldn’t have wanted my children focusing their reading on these, either, but it’s better for us to make that choice together instead of banning books.

When it comes to LGBT books, especially, I always assume those are the only outlets for a teenager looking for support. Take those away, and they will resort to drugs, alcohol, self harm, etc.

For context, the most infamous Nazi book burning was on May 10, 1933. Nazi student groups held mass burnings of books they labeled “un-German,” including works by Jewish authors, political opponents, and others they viewed as ideological enemies.



You're an idiot. This has nothing to do with banning books. Them being in school libraries is the Democrats sneaking in this trash. Banning books is taking them out of circulation like F451. This simply saying we aint buying this shite anymore and we don't want our kids seeing it. You can buy it, next time you and your wife hit the porn shop on a dildo hunt. By your logic, we need to have Hustler in every school library to avoid being "Autocratic". Get fricked.

Why should a book describing how to have anal sex be in a middle school? You're the weird one, you realize that right?

So you support books in a lower school library, then when excerpts are read in a public meeting result in indecency charges to the reader?


Frick that. Books like that don’t belong in school libraries and should be banned.

How many times have we learned the hard way not to trust the government?

Yet, this time it’s different?


Sounds like you want pron in schools

Why ban books with controversial language or on detransitioning?

Name a book you can't buy in America due to a ban.. If you can't, then no books have been banned.

Consider the OP. It’s not a stretch in the least.

Left: Puts Antiracist Baby and Being Jazz in your kids' elementary school

Normal people: School board opts to keep radical sexual/trangender content or radical racial grievance books from the elementary schools

Left: "OMG the Republicans banned To Kill a Mockingbird and Little Blue Truck!"

Maybe it was said, but could you imagine how big school libraries would have to be if they couldn't "ban" books?

Hmmmm …. so just about the time more parents were forced to be more involved with their children’s schools (covid) …. and could see more of the actual material being introduced …. the banning of books began to increase?

You don’t say ….

There is a difference between a BAN, and not allowing a book in a school library.
