rbreich , 2 months ago There were 4,349 book bans across the US during the fall 2023 semester. That's more than the bans reported during the entire 2022 school year. Nothing scares conservatives more than a multi-racial generation of young people who ask critical questions and speak truth to power.

alm10965 , 2 months ago @rbreich so many banned books. Approximately 90 yrs before, in Germany the Nazis first have banned books, and later, they have burned that banned books in public. Hope, that doesn't get real, in US.

Lassielmr , 2 months ago @rbreich I find that jawdropping. Looking in from outside the USA I can’t believe that is possible, yet I know it has happened.

trabex , 2 months ago @rbreich It goes a little deeper than that. The political divide in America is between those who prefer the truth and those who prefer falsehood. The left prefers truth. The right prefers lies. In order to make the lies believeable, they've decided to censor information as much as possible. They're going after libraries and colleges. It's largely not going to work, because information is free to anyone with an internet connection, which I suppose is their next target.
