In a local paper they had an article about how at a high school graduation one of the ladies graduating handed the superintendent a book that was on the “banned list”. I was glad to see so many in the comments point out that if she was able to get the book then it isn’t banned.
Pointing this out to people is as useless as trying to debunk the police shooting narrative to a true believer. I had a cousin that got mad at me because he was talking about Florida banning books and I simply pointed out all the books listed were available to order on Amazon. Why people don’t understand that a public library or public school not carrying a book is banning it. By all means, start your own bookstore or public library
Did they say what the banned book was?
Handmaid’s Tale. I’ve had people tell me it’s a great show but never bothered to watch or read it
The author originally wrote it when the Ayatollahs took over Iran, and no one cared or took the contract for the book. Reagan got elected, she started shopping it around as "ThIs Is ThE fUtUrE oF rIgHt WiNg AmErIkKkA!!!!!1" and it started a contract bidding war and became a best seller.
I heard, the book is sexist garbage as it contains one line at the end that falsely suggests men are inherently sexist.
