    Considering the books generally being removed, it’s clear this is mostly just about bigotry.

    To me, that is what is trash.

    It can be difficult to impossible for some parents to take their kids to public libraries.

    Again all of those titles they mention are free online or through Amazon. There are tons of books banned across the US in school libraries even when I was in school which has been a long time they banned books like the Great Gatsby, Catcher in The Rye, 1984, Lord of the Flies doesn't mean I didn't read them Hell a lot of schools even banned the Harry Potter Series when it first came out it didn't stop people from reading them

    "My big question to all of the pro-censors is this: Why don’t you police what your own child reads, and let other parents police what their child reads? Why do the censors get to hide books from others, merely because they find it offensive?!?! Start parenting your own child."

    From ridiculed by the GOP, to their patron saint

    Don’t really care about the children. That’s just their hooks. They want to control society generally, and they want to persecute does the heat. They just use the children for cover.
