I might need @TonyStark to help answer your question.
The idea of freedom for all has, at times, been illusory.
I believe that freedom of speech applies to books.
From my perspective, freedom of speech applies equally, even for those with whom I disagree.
Extending that to books, they should be readily available, whether or not it's something I want in my house.
From all of those books, I can choose for myself and my children what to read.
Some people don't agree and feel the need to impose their choices on others.
Many of them also believe scientists have lied to us, and the world is flat - sadly true.
Truthfully, the books on the banned list that are age appropriate and subject appropriate, for my kids, they've read.
I hope my reply is helpful.
I know your question was helpful to me.
@CherylBlueWave @SKV Agreed. There are books I’m not a fan of, but you don’t see me attempting to ban them. I’m not a fan of the idea we should ban a bible in retribution or anything like that, either. Abandoning our principles to prove a bad point doesn’t seem like smart behavior to me.
@CherylBlueWave “Bless your heart” works better. @TonyStark @SKV@mastodon.world
I love your sunflowers.
Glowing from the summer sun, sunflowers daisies are such happy flowers.
@AlliFlowers @TonyStark @SKV
So true.
