Original Note:
The other notes rely on highly biased sources and ignore the reality that books are being banned by republicans not just in school libraries but in public libraries which they tried to defund. They’ve even tried to force bookstores to stop selling books they don’t like. https://www.azmirror.com/blog/senate-republicans-agree-to-ban-books-with-gender-fluidity-pronouns/ https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-04-22/book-bans-soaring-schools-new-laws-republican-states https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/missouri-defund-libraries-book-ban-rcna78014 https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/05/20/gender-queer-barnes-and-noble/
