@gemma I’d need to see some scientific studies upholding this. I’ve never seen a study suggesting that empathy can be learned. And even if someone who has empathy can turn it off, it doesn’t stay off permanently. It’s too painful. @nedhamson @harriettmb@mastodon.ie

@mambearpnw@mastodon.social I only see one way to interpret it. Books are being banned because “they” feel that books can change the way someone thinks and feels.

If books are responsible, then why aren’t guns?
