Book banning is coming from extremes on both sides.
This country has lost its collective mind.
I was glad to read though that teenagers are starting their own book clubs to read and discuss banned books.
More people need to be aware and to speak up.

Nazi Germany in the 1930's targeted books for burning whose viewed as being subversive or as representing ideologies opposed to Nazism. Now let's replace the word Nazi for WOKE and history is repeating itself only this time it's not burning but rewriting literature to remove any opposition to the WOKE views. If people don't start standing up and saying enough is enough we will soon learn what life is like for the Chinese people. Freedom has never been free, but hard fought, yet today it seems like we are not fighting against an enemy of foreign soil. It is within our own boarders that we are giving up our capitalistic beliefs to follow a path of fascism in the name of equity. And now I hear that the government is putting traditional orthodox Catholics churches on watch list as radicals and I hope that I am wrong and it's just more of false media at work. As Pastor Martin Niemoller wrote: "They came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist, then they came for the Socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist, then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist, then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew, then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me". People we need to wake up before it's too late.
