They have banned so many books it's ridiculous. If ONE parent complains about a book in a school library in Florida, the book is banned. They even banned "The Diary of Anne Frank. " When was growing up that was required reading as they wanted us to learn about the holocaust experience through eyes of a child.

Ok as a Republican, banning books is crazy. Knowledge is knowledge. Whether you like it or not.

Rallies, book burnings, censorship of materials containing inconvenient facts; the fascists playbook is solid and unchanged.

I cannot believe the life of Rosa parks was banned. That is just vile.

Song of Solomon is one of the best books I've read and has nothing to do with woke or LGBT
