Mein Kampf?

  No, make it part of the curriculum. Read it and shown how boring and stupid it is. Demystify such nonsense

      ... Wait, are you claiming that people are, having not previously been exposed to Nazism, reading it, and going "well, this seems like a pretty good idea really"? I'm fairly sure that's not a thing. No-one's being radicalised by it; rather the only people who really read it are already radicalised, because, otherwise, why would you bother? There may be books which radicalise people. But I'm fairly sure Mein Kampf is not one of them.

      I doubt that most owner have read it completely. Like the bible people mostly know the parts of it that fit their own agenda. And don’t underestimate the effect it has if you are forced to read a book in school from front to back and write essays about it.

      People choose to commit atrocities in the name of the famous holy books - you either support banning them as well or concede there's something more to it.

    The irony of Mein Kampf suffering the streisand effect is not lost.
