They also are banning books that are critical of authoritarian governments, because they don’t want their children to resent the one they’ve chosen to install here.

Which specific books are being banned? Where are they being banned?

Both of those things are literally in the video description. You don't even have to watch the video!

It was a plain question and not immediately obvious from the first few seconds of the video nor the title of the video what the answer was.

The video itself had no relevance to the discussion. The appropriate response was “The Perks of Being a Wallflower in Oxford, Pennsylvania,” along with a non-video citation showing that the book was pulled from circulation. Even if it was, it would be a non-issue. No ordinary person understands the removal of obscenity from a children’s library to be a “book ban.” The people who advance this narrative know this and lie about it anyway.

> the removal of obscenity from a children’s library

Uh, that's literally what a book ban is? But given that you aren't even willing to do the bare minimum work for this conversation and yet demand things from others I am not really sure whether it's worth even having it.
