A Brave New World by Huxley would annoy those conducting the fake pandemic. It would awaken some sheep.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward RT


I'm pretty sure you don't have children.

If you did you'd want to be involved in decisions about what they read and, just as importantly, when they read it.

Take your entry of something like "I Don't Give a Fuck".

I'd prefer that title not be sitting in the school library.

If my child says they want to read it? It's up to me to do a quick review of what the content is, to see if I have any language usage issues with it, etc.

I certainly don't want to "ban" the book. I do, however, want to make sure I know what's going on.

Take your "Fifty Shades of Grey" entry. It's an adult book and it centers around a sadomasochistic relationship. Do I want that in a high school library where a 14 year old can check it out?

Sorry, no, I don't. I have no problem at all with it having been written, printed, and being for sale. But putting it on a school shelf? No thanks.

Some of the entries are, to be sure, puzzling. Brave New World, for example.

You can't look at the content of the school library through an adult lens in my opinion. You have to keep in mind who the readers will actually be.
"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it." Ronald Reagan

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan

Re: in america these books are either banned or challenged
4 of the 10 most challenged books

George by Alex Gino
Reasons: Challenged, banned, and restricted for LGBTQIA+ content, conflicting with a religious viewpoint, and not reflecting “the values of our community”
Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds
Reasons: Banned and challenged because of author’s public statements, and because of claims that the book contains “selective storytelling incidents” and does not encompass racism against all people
All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely
Reasons: Banned and challenged for profanity, drug use, and alcoholism, and because it was thought to promote anti-police views, contain divisive topics, and be “too much of a sensitive matter right now”
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
Reasons: Banned, challenged, and restricted because it was thought to contain a political viewpoint and it was claimed to be biased against male students, and for the novel’s inclusion of rape and profanity
