You can look into it, if you're curious! Some of these books are indeed banned from schools (even if they want to stock it!), by state-level law no less! It's not a curation choice.
- bigstrat2003 11mo agoIn that case it would be better to say "banned from school libraries", because they are not banned in general.
- jfindper 11mo agoWe're talking about an article titled "The Most Banned Books _in U.S. Schools_", I thought the "in U.S. schools" part provided the context, but I suppose not.
- orthecreedence 11mo ago> banned from school libraries So, banned then?
- IAmBroom 11mo agoForget DNRTFA; you did not even read the entire seven-word title.
- threemux 11mo agoThere's state-level law saying it's illegal to own or read some books on this list? Or just that it's illegal for school libraries to stock it and/or include it in curricula?
- jfindper 11mo ago>There's state-level law saying it's illegal to own or read some books on this list? Sorry, I'll edit my comment to be more clear. It is illegal for school libraries to stock it, even if they (teachers, the district, the parents, etc.) want it to be carried. As a reminder for readers, the title of the article contains "in U.S. schools". It is probably a safe assumption to use that context for the comments in this thread.
