      So do you believe its okay for some school to ctrl+f “gay” through any text in a book and automatically ban it. Liberals arent saying that there should be no book bans, like ive mentioned there are already several books that have been banned for several decades now. Its about finding the ones and doing proper bans. Its just that jurisdictions who are actively banning them are taking every short cut possible to remove books with any theme with them. Do you actually think liberals would okay having Mein Kampf in yheir students libraries? By saying that you believe liberals are fighting against banning books at all, you have litterally just painted liberals in a black and white fashion.
