Let's talk about banned books. I can't post images here. But if you want to see them, you can look at Chelsea Clintons' twitter feed. She is promoting them and getting pummeled in the comments.


We are not talking about To Kill a Mockingbird or the Color Purple here.

Are they really banned books or are they books that drag queens aren't allowed to read to kindergarteners?

Those are books the left has banned. Same with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The left banned them all.

That's what always happened with banned books. They just get read even more than they would otherwise as now they're tantalizingly forbidden. The pearl clutchers with their groomers in every corner dysphoria in effect are, well, turning into their own imaginary fears.

That article doesn't say where it's banned from.

Sure isn't banned here, in our public library.

In fact, there is a really charming re-issue format, with gilded pages and a little satin ribbon bookmark.

There are 800 books banned in Texas schools, and I don't see Huck Finn on this list.

All I see are books the right has banned. 800 of them..
