I admire the students that are setting up book clubs for banned books. They are recognizing that they are being given a list of what they should read.
I’m assuming that getting books banned from libraries requires them to be there in the first place (in most cases at least), so any arguments using examples age rating issues should rather focus on why those books got into a school library in the first place.
Surely the ones responsible don’t just blindly choose some books to fill the library without at least making sure they’re not as wildly inappropriate as some people like to say.This is referring to a few books that were banned from school libraries a while ago (not sure what they were doing there in the first place).
Anyway, one of the books that were banned showed males sucking each other off. That’s hardly something you would be eager to show a kid unless you are a groomer. A common theme between these books in general was that they were pornographic. The fact that there was, and still is an outrage from the LGBT community till this day because of the bans is telling.
Also, do make note of the people here comparing the bans to Nazi Germany. Yeah, not showing kids gay porn is like being a Nazi, apparently. Disgusting.
The Anarchist Cookbook is on the reading list

Fun trick I do with my children is to way things like “Oh yeah you don’t want that. It’s forbidden” if I want them to read more about it.
You’re parent clickbait. “Honey, that’s one of the twelve things THEY don’t want you to know about!”
More like “Based books” amirite

“Hey there’s a book about Minecraft - wait no it says ‘Mein Kampf’…”
i bet that one is allowed in most of these lists
Not in Germany… (it’s banned outside of school too)
iirc it wasn’t exactly banned in germany. Iirc the state of bavaria held the copyright and sued everyone who sold the book without their consent, while not printing any copies themselves.
