I don't think school library book banning is the biggest threat to free speech today; it's mass internet censorship.
- yucky 4y agoExactly, I'm more concerned by the books you can't buy on Amazon than the ones you can't check out in a limited space children's library.
- saghm 4y agoWhat would you propose as a way to fix censorship of books by Amazon? I can't think of anything other than government regulation in some form, so I'm confused about why the government censoring books in public schools wouldn't be equally concerning.
- yucky 4y agoI wouldn't propose anything, when I want a book that Amazon doesn't sell I still know how to get it. The reason I mentioned it in comparison is a school library has a)limited space and b) children who shouldn't be exposed to everything under the sun at an early age. With Amazon, there is no such excuse.
