I haven't heard of that - could you describe the books being removed from schools? Are they still teaching books like 1984, Brave New World and Animal Farm?

- lovich 4y agoBook bans are on the rise across the US[1], in blue and red states. In blue states it tends to be books like to “kill a mockingbird”, “huckleberry Finn”, or other books with racially charged language. In red states they say they are removing “CRT”, and “pornographic” or “sexual content”, but their definition of sexual and porn includes any mention of homosexualities existence and their definition of CRT includes any mention of minorities having been oppressed at any point in time. It’s kind of a shit show all over [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/30/books/book-ban-us-schools.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/30/books/book-ban-us-schools...
