    A massive “oh no, anyway” moment. The only reason people are so enraged over this is because they need propaganda to throw at their opponents. Nobody making an honest argument believes that every school must carry every book available to them. It’s entirely normal for every library to remove things from it’s collection, especially so when that library is designed to serve a specific community such as a school.

      Same bot fascist who posted in another thread. Either you’re ruZZian or you’re extremely dumb (or trolling). Books shouldn’t be banned, only a fascist says that.

      That’s not the topic at hand. Books are being explicitly banned for their content, we’re not talking about books that got worn out over the years
