Please stop saying they’re “banning books” because they’re not approving textbooks. That’s hyperbole and isn’t helpful.

- xphilter 5y agoPlease explain how its hyperbole. If it’s not approved for the school…are teachers allowed to use it? If they’re not allowed to use it, isn’t it banned? Or are you saying because private citizens can buy it at home it’s not banned? If the later, would you be fine with me saying “banning teachers from using these books”?
- chrismeller 5y agoWell if you’re not sure, then here are the simple terms… You say “banning books” and people start thinking about the fascists burning things they disagreed with. This is completely different. All the knowledge is still available in normal books and on the internet, they’re just saying that the math books submitted were not up to their requirements.
