Lee Doesn't Know What a Book Ban Is - Hint: It's Not What DeSantis Is Doing

[AlleyCat]

Not letting books become a part of a curriculum because they aren't age-
appropriate, is not "banning" books.

Not letting major classic works of art into classrooms, like those listed
below, because of "offensive" words... THAT'S book banning.

The books YOU say are being "banned", are not part of any curriculum, so they
can't be "banned", just not approved.

Are they not moving many of these books to the libraries, where the freaks of
nature CAN read them, if they choose?

There needs to be an age-appropriation rule. 5 year olds do NOT need to see
Adam and Steve giving each other blowjobs.

You like to make fun of "what would Jesus do?" How about asking yourself, what
would your parents have done? What would your friends' parents have done?
(those who weren't like you)

This is NOT about "banning books". We'll let YOU fucks handle that. This is
about age-appropriate material.

Why were these books "banned"?

Below are 25 of the most popular works of literature from the last century that
have been banned from SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, and, in some cases, entire countries.
For even more great books that have been banned, including picture books like
Dr. Seuss's The Lorax, check out this list.

If they were banned by schools, chances are they were banned by liberals.

The least Canadian antiracist activists should do is educate themselves about

in this nakedly imperialist alliance. All Canadians of conscience owe a debt of
