Book banning hasn't worked since the general human population became literate.

Ironically, the most read book in the world has an infamous and centuries old story about how people respond to being restricted from knowledge, without a legitimate reason. If only more people read said book.

Who gives a fukk, the battle is already lost. Most of these people will be dead by the decades end, it’s over

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.

📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it.

⚠️Read it before they ban it for good: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

That’s almost always why books are banned.

They hate the truth. It exposes their agenda. Lies are their currency.

EVIL is EVIL does! I read Project 2025every page spits evil to all non believers. Trump will leave to bring in their ❤️ child Vance .He will pardon King Devil who will never face a day in jail. That’s the deal.2025 will continue to piss on the Constitution and 2025 will Rule.ICE will make sure of it!

So true! As an adult in these times, I am thinking back as to how much school did not teach us. Nothing about slavery or the oppression on so many. They told us about the wars and made us remember the dates, touched on why the war came about, but no details on the actual actions that caused them.

Banning of certain materials that are not child oriented is acceptable. If there's material in a book that exposes the topic of sexuality, they should be banned from that school. Anyone who objects to this is guilty of grooming children.

Claiming the art isn’t AI while it has a glaring misspelling. Really adds credence to the book being promoted. 🫠

The trump administration is actually destroying previous scientific research and data. Not just hiding it. DESTROYING it.

Everything Trump is doing looks like the documentary The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich.

Everyone wanting to ban these books has already read them, and they survived just fine.

I wonder how they developed their little list? Some would should start using FOIA to better understand their internal reasoning and the exact individuals who were involved in that process. The Orange Felon can’t read so it wasn’t him. We must target the foundation. He has immunity.

Exactly. Same with universities and science and digital scrubbing of data. The truth and facts get in the way of propaganda and disinformation.

the right wing co-opting being the "freedom party" is one of the greatest psyops in modern political history.
