Book-banners, after all, insist that the entire community should see things their way, and only their way.
What an ironic statement . Progressive liberals believe that everyone can get along in peace and harmony so long as the people they disagree with can be silenced. Even when fellow lib special interests intersect one has to be purged from existence. As an example it would seem that left's belief in woman's rights should include the right to a safe space in a woman's bathroom and locker room . But if a woman expresses such a view she is instantly silenced by the woke mob.
She is forced to share that space with a man pretending to be a woman.
As far as books goes the issue is not a general banning , It is specifically the restricting of SOME books that are age inappropriate and /or should not be used as teaching tools in a school .
NO ONE is suggesting that a parent should not be permitted to purchase '
It's Perfectly Normal. '
And if a parent wants to read it to their child it is their business. The objection is teaching it to young children in school . That is not book banning .It is parents owning their child's education .
Note hardly a word is uttered by those decrying book banning when the answer to book banning for the left is the wholesale change of the book's words by editors who know better than the authors what is appropriate. btw ;what happened to 'Huckleberry Finn' ? What happened to Dr Seuss ? What happened to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory '? The libs are more Orwellian .Change a word here or there ;change an expression or thought .Then allow their version of the book to be read .They then can say 'ban books .....who me ?'
