When a school board, a library or a state bans books, it’s not a show of strength. It’s a sign they’re ruled by fear. Fear of knowledge. Fear of opposing views. Fear of democracy.
@StevenBeschloss what about books that have no real knowledge in them? Like books of climate change deniers, or conspiracy theorists? Those arguably do more harm than good.
@smicur@StevenBeschloss yes but those aren’t what DeSantis is banning. Those are the “good” books. They are pushing back on “wokeness”. See the difference?
