- leakycap 1y agoI grew up decades ago and remember some books being banned at my school library, even though it probably wasn't officially on a list somewhere to be tabulated and counted. I think the reality of what isn't allowed in schools goes far beyond these stats. The 80/20 rule usually applies to large numbers & the 3 states you list represent 15-20% of US student population and 80% of bans.
