I have a friend who is a librarian. You wouldnât believe how threatening and vulgar the people who want to ban books can be, per his experience. There is nothing civil, thoughtful, or logical about their behavior or reasoning. Plus the fact they havenât read the books they want to ban. he says that intimidation is their primary strategy. One of his colleagues had enough and countered that the bible should be banned because of the sex and violence in it. That apparently shut up one fascist.
Ainât it strange that the people who claim that ensuring that school libraries are age appropriate is âbook banningâ but forcing editors to stop publishing certain books and edit out âoffensive partsâ is not book banning.
Protecting children from age-inappropriate books is not dumb. Thereâs a reason that video stores used to have a restricted little room out the back for people who wanted âadultâ content.
Some books now promote adult content to those too young to understand.
There was not a drive to ban books until the GQP determined they didnât have any real proposals on their platform. This is similar when the Tea baggers would go to Democrat politicianâs meetings shouting âKeep the government out of my medicare.â
Itâs a distraction so the public wonât demand to make the rich and corps pay their fair share in taxes.
The Bible has been banned countless times because it ended up falling under the category of ânot for children because I donât want literature to contain Xâ

Banning books is taking away the freedom of speech, opinion, artistic expression, etc.

Asking a library to not carry a book is not banning books. Any book you want is still availabl,
