There are no banned books in America. Not spending taxpayer money forcibly taken from citizens on books they disagree with for public school libraries is far from banning books.

If you are okay with a book indoctrinating kids with far left ideology, why not put in copies of far right books to balance it out?

No one wants kids indoctrinated in culture war garbage.

If you want to own a book, go buy it yourself.

That’s a book written by a libertarian “taxation is unconstitutional“ crackpot.

Can you point me to one book banned by libraries that contains “far left ideology”? And one with “far right ideology” not found in libraries?
