I don’t remember the case, but I read somewhere that the Supreme Court drew a distinction between deciding not to add something vs taking away what was already there in regards to school libraries.
Assuming this is referring to Maus, it wasn’t a part of the curriculum, it was just a book that was available in the library. The school board removed it from the library, clearly in an effort to limit access to it.
- WalterBright 5y agoI'm not in favor of book banning, but that book shouldn't be allowed in a library.
- imgabe 5y agoWhy not? I’ve heard of it but never read it. I just know it’s widely acclaimed and about the Holocaust.
- sixstringtheory 5y agoI’ve never seen/read it, curious to know why you think it shouldn’t be allowed in libraries.

- dgellow 5y agoI get the irony but in the current context that doesn’t really read as a joke.

- imgabe 5y agoAh, my mistake. From what I read before I thought they just took it out of the library.
