How anachronistic, banning books in the age of the Internet. Banning required reading list books in schools is a kind of political posturing serving the usual RWNJ talking points from political movements led by people who don’t even read books.
In the United States, the battle over books is heating up, with some politicians and parents demanding the removal of certain books from libraries and school curriculums. Just in the last week, we saw reports of a Tennessee school board that voted to ban Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, “Maus,” from classrooms, and a mayor in Mississippi who is withholding $110,000 in funding from his city’s library until it removes books depicting L.G.B.T.Q. people. Those seeking to ban books argue that these stories and ideas can be dangerous to young minds — like mine, I suppose, when I picked up Mr. Heinemann’s novel.
Never attend 65% Republican. The book burners. I wonder if they realize the ongoing effort by groups of young people all over the country, to gather those books, and make them more popular than ever?
Just so you know righties, these will be the people running for, and supporting candidates for state and national offices in another 10 years.

If more white GOP evangelicals get their religion by never attending church, do they read books
