- jpgreens 6y agoYou mean that wasn't real <insert your ideology>? Censoring 'at the library level' is not more or less dangerous than burning books. Its intent is exactly the same: silence opposing views, control the narrative and people's thoughts. Your statement is a testament to the slippery slope that Western society is on right now.
- jansan 6y agoHere is an extensive list of frequently challenged and banned books http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/classics http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks... Some school libraries appear to be being very active on banning certain books.
- praptak 6y agoBigoted parents challenging a book in a school library is not comparable to a state using law to intimidate public libraries into removing books.
- jariel 6y agoThis is upside down. Banning books from school is 10x worse than censorship at the library. All this library talk is a little moot because nobody goes to the library. How many copies of said 'banned books' do HK libraries even have? 10? 20? The Internet is the Library. But the information taught in class will define an entire generation.
