Why would Mein Kampf be banned? It is a historical book written by a figure of history. Adding value judgement on literary works is illogical and historically backwords.

Why would you want a book that incites racial violence in a place occupied by people who may themselves have violence issues?

Are ALL books that incite racial hatred banned? Malcolm X? Mao? Etc

You either ban them all or ban none.

Knowing American prisons, there is no way Malcolm X and Mao's books are in there.

"Don't get killed by the nazis" is not a daily concern for most people just about anywhere except in prison.
