Meanwhile the US bans books for being too sexual
The US does not ban books outright but they do ban some of them from public libraries, especially school libraries, and for good reason.
The US doesn’t ban shit, individuals hand down mandates to public institutions that then tell them to go fuck themselves.
Not paying attention to anything happening right now, are you?
Oh, I am well aware that people in the US are banning books. There’s a culture war against libraries… but the US, as an institution, doesn’t ban anything. Saying otherwise is disinformation at its finest.
In schools. There is such thing as curated material for children. You can call it ban, but do you want, for example, pornography available to anyone in elementary school library? Or Mein Kampf?
Public libraries are different thing. No books are banned there.
*Mein Kampf
Thanks, corrected.
Please don’t lie to other countries. We’ve had several articles of libraries getting attacked by state legislature. Especially in Florida.
Does it really matter what level of government is doing it if the end result is the same.
