The author seems to find it inexplicable that"Mein Kampf" would be allowed if any other book is banned. "Mein Kampf" is a fairly common read for high school and college classes that focus on original source material. Not to say that there aren't weird things that are banned in different places, but "Mein Kampf" doesn't appear to make the argument he is trying to make.
- yamtaddle 4y agoI think the author finds it weird they ban civil-rights-promoting books for being "racially incendiary" but allow Mein Kampf. It's kinda like banning Titanic for the nude painting scene, but allowing Behind the Green Door. Like, sure, I guess it's kind of a classic, from a certain point of view, but... really? That gets through but Titanic doesn't?
