This writer loves books and reading. Back when she was in high school and captain of the forensics team, she won gold at the state championship for a four-minute speech on banned books.
That being said, there is not an actual book ban in this country. Some school districts have decided to curate books and the curriculum -- which is what every school district does. So it's a tired, ridiculous argument that books are being 'banned' just because they're not on every shelf or every classroom.
Actor Henry Winkler, best known as the Fonz on 'Happy Days' decided to spend Black Friday getting dragged on X for wading into the debate.
Books Are NOT our enemy

No, they're not.
The Leftists who push inappropriate, pornographic books on children are. And we have no obligation to carry those books in our schools.
No.

But do you think it's appropriate for a book written for LGBTQ teenagers that instructs them on kink sex, bathhouses, using adult sex apps and details urine fetishes and erotically eating poop to be in schools?
Because that's what award-winning This Book is Gay, does.
Award. Winning.
Egads.
Books with explicit sexual content in places where kids can get hold of them are.

Good grief. What happened to you?
Leftism.
That's what.
Then why do progressive school districts ban Anne Frank?

Or To Kill a Mockingbird or Tom Sawyer -- this writer notices no one screams about those books being 'banned' from school shelves.
Because that's (D)ifferent.

Perfection.
Laughs in Mein Kampf and Das Kapital.

Lies are the enemy, Henry. Even when in book form.
It's not just lies, it's inappropriate propaganda aimed at kids.
Yeah no pic.twitter.com/KITBr5Vokd

Exactly. No.
If they won’t allow parents read those books at school board meetings, then they might not be appropriate… just saying

Weird how that seems to happen all the time, huh?
But the Left wants your six-year-old to read it in class.
Pornographic books should never be available in the school library. I agree. The books aren't the enemy. The people fighting to have them in the school library are the enemies.

Boom.
Which books, Henry?
— ♞Paladin♞ (@Glorfindel1951) November 29, 2024
All books?
Which books? https://t.co/W2b8VaR74S pic.twitter.com/dpR9QlK0nu
We all know which books.
Maybe not, but when you're dealing with a public school and other peoples children, you do not have the right to give them access to full blown pornography adjacent content. If you want your child to have that vile s**t, do it on your own dime and in your own home. https://t.co/uQWpa5Nf7Y

All those books are readily available on Amazon.
Insipid and irrelevant, yet still earns left-wing social credit. https://t.co/T8u00qC2Ko

We all know how important that Left-wing social credit is.
