Those two are literally the same thing. The “banning books” you’re talking about is literally the state curating the selection of children books in public libraries. Florida is not actually banning sales of certain books, as it would be illegal for it to do it (except in some edge cases), all it’s doing is curating the selection of books in libraries. The critics call it “banning books” to confuse audience into thinking that some books are actually getting “banned”, which is simply not happening.

- jrm4 4y agoLiterally? Oh come on, stop being dense. Let's start with - today, one of these has the words "felony" attached to it. The other does not.
- xyzzyz 4y agoIt is not my fault that the activists decided to call it “banning books” when the government curates selection of books in public school libraries. I wish that such confusing language has not been introduced, but here we are: people are now calling it “banning books”. It is not I who made them the same thing, it’s the activists who tried to confuse this with a different sort of government activity which is not taking place. I have no idea what “felony” you are talking about.
- freejazz 4y agoThis is a completely disingenuous post.
- xyzzyz 4y agoHow so? Can you explain?
- freejazz 4y agoIt's so obtuse as to not be genuinely believable. I have no reason to believe you struggled to understand the poster's meaning to the point that you genuinely offered that as a means of creating greater understanding.
- xyzzyz 4y agoWhat was the poster’s meaning, then? Sorry, I genuinely do not understand what you are getting at here.
- knewter 4y agoI always assume a reply like this is generated by an ai, because a real human would have tried to make himself understood if he's going to bother saying things
- freejazz 4y agoI guess if I was to obtusely debate the meaning of "banned books" as a means of ignoring the substantive issue, you'd have found it an incredibly compelling post
