Banned Books Week (October 1st - 7th, 2023) Almost Over

A list of proposed books people want banned? I wonder what books people here would put on teh list?

The theme for Banned Books Week 2023 is "Let Freedom Read." When we ban books, we're closing off readers to people, places, and perspectives. But when we stand up for stories, we unleash the power that lies inside every book. We liberate the array of voices that need to be heard and the scenes that need to be seen. Let freedom read!

Established in 1982, Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community in shared support of the freedom to read.

People have posted on here about banned books. What's wrong with a Banned Book thread?

Fuck your queer books for children that should never have been published.

Why would you want little kids to read children's books about sex?

There's something seriously wrong with that on a deep level.

Why would you be advocating for something so wrong?

Not one lib said anything about classics being banned like Huck Fin or our history in statues being destroyed....

I wouldn't ban it, but the Bible is inappropriate for under 12s, as it glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children.

^ Massively triggered homophobe.

Why would you want little kids to read children's books about sex?

^ Massively triggered and delusional homophobe.

There's something seriously wrong with that on a deep level.

^ Massively triggered and delusional homophobic projection.

Why would you be advocating for something so wrong?

Why do conservative advocate for the Bible, a book that glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children?

Fair point.

Between liberals and conservatives, there will be nothing left if this insanity doesn't stop.

Do conservatives have fun reading the Bible and its glorification of the rape, torture and murder of children?

If so, do you agree with Hillary that some may need to be formally deprogrammed?

Someone needs to deprogram Commie Hillary.

The Bible does not glorify such things. Perhaps you are thinking of the Quran.

So a list of books some people want banned that aren’t banned? Really?

I’m willing to bet 90 percent of the people that organized this week haven’t read 2 books on the list.

Where is that glorified in the Bible?

Maybe they just haven't gotten to it yet. The list of everything that has ever been written in the history of our planet is most likely endless.

God bless you always!!!

Good point, but while she's definitely Stalinist, she ain't no communist.

Glorify, celebrate, normalize - it's all there.

Perhaps you are thinking of the Quran.

There's some disturbing content there as well, yes.

 

[MinTrut]

Where is that glorified in the Bible?

In the Bible.

It's available online - let me know if you need a link.

The authoritarian right’s efforts to ban books will ultimately fail – the same is true of the right’s war on facts and the truth.

Yeah where in the Bible did you find it? Maybe, provide a citation for us…ever heard of that? Likely not
