[quote=Anonymous]Still none of you effectively Nazi losers wants to speak up on the vast lists of books that have been banned, you just want to focus on one book you’ve never read (and couldn’t understand anyway).

Because: 
“ 44% include themes or instances of violence & physical abuse (n=385). This includes titles that have episodes of violence and/or physical abuse as a component of plot or discussion.
38% cover topics on health and wellbeing for students (n=331). This includes content on mental health, bullying, suicide, substance abuse, as well as books that discuss sexual wellbeing and puberty. 
30% are books that include instances or themes of grief and death (n=264). This includes books that have a character death or a related death that is impactful to the plot or a character’s emotional arc. 
30% include characters of color or discuss race and racism (n=260)
26% present LGBTQ+ characters or themes (n=229). Of note, within this category, 68 are books that include transgender characters, which is 8% of all books banned. 
24% detail sexual experiences between characters (n=211). 
17% of books mention teen pregnancy, abortion, or sexual assault (n=150)
Note: categories less than 10% are not reported; categories are developed based on researcher assessment of banned books, categories are matched to individual titles using publisher summaries, Amazon Books and Goodreads, and expert opinions of librarians and authors.” https://pen.org/report/banned-in-the-usa-state-laws-supercharge-book-suppression-in-schools/

It’s not “porn” that’s being banned, it’s anything that might teach a child something. [/quote]
