Why does it even matter if there are books that aren’t in the school library? It’s not like there’s no way a student could read a certain book just because it’s not inside the school. This is as pointless as arguing about which restrooms people can use. People on both sides get all worked up and upset, but at the end of the day a student can read a book even if it’s not in the school and anyone can use any restroom. My mom used to go in the men’s room all the time and nobody ever took any issue with it. I’ve read tons of books that weren’t in my school library. In fact, almost every book I’ve ever read wasn’t in my school library.
This is a very short sighted view of the situation at hand.
The banning of books and literal re-writing of history in certain states should be concerning for anyone who realizes what a dark road we’re headed down.
it’s like watching the rise of the third reich in real time.
Literally
It’s not about protecting the children nor has it ever been
The books aren’t “banned”. They’re just not in the school. These arguments are meant to distract from the real issues of concern that are going on. But, like I said, it doesn’t matter, so I’m not going to argue about it.
That depends on how much access kids have to a different library, and I’d argue that traditionalist moral censorship is not going to stop there.
Hey guess what. Your experience doesn’t represent everyone’s experience.
