No books should really be banned for adults. We all have our tastes.

Ban the government, not books.

No books should be banned or destroyed, ever. Just put them on the self until we are old enough to read and understand them. 😂 🤷♂️ 🙂

@SW-User wowowowo......but what on earth could be wrong with stained glass windows ?
@SW-User Henry VIII would have them all burned as heretics.

Here’s a thought….stop with all the banning and censoring of everything that doesn’t line up with your opinions.

@akindheart So the Bible is out, I assume?

@akindheart um. Don't? Let kids read that? Seems pretty obvious. Or maybe lonely mothers could stash their smutt? Seriously.

I do.not support censorship in books.

@MasterLee Who determines this? Close- minded religious prudes? I shall not debate this. People are flawed. They cannot censor when they are flawed.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@PoetryNEmotion the law states that pornography and sexual information be restricted from minors. Of course you won't debate because it is wrong.

@MasterLee You are a pompous man. Do not waste my time. You are master of nothing. Be gone.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
Anything that talks about The War of Independence being about religious freedom and taxation without representation. It was all about greedy people not wanting to pay their dues and recognising that there was vast wealth for the powerful who'd crossed the Atlantic. The excuses were to get the average man and woman to fight the war for the wealthy.

SW-User
@metaldog Well if you are going to ban our English heritage, I suppose it follows the you will ban the King James Version of the Bible, which is the most beautiful expression of the English language. What have you got in America to compare?

SW-User
@SW-User To be fair, we had Dickens thrust upon us in school. I would rather have had the poems of Edgar Allen Poe or the novels of Ernest Hemingway.

Nothing is banned in FL or anywhere else here. Some are just kept out of grammer and middle schools

@ServantOfTheGoddess you go to any thrift store here and find that entire series and also the twilight one.
At one time people were pre-ordering twilight books but now thrift stores cannot even get rid of them.

@SW-User So Sky News has got it wrong.
There is no DeSantis law on parental rights in Education. And no Hillsborough County restriction on Shakespeare.
I’ll keep believing the Earth is flat too.

@SW-User restriction is the word. It's not required reading in grammer and middke schools anymore. That's as far as it goes

@SW-User Restriction means ban in British English.
To be fair we have had restrictions in England too. DH Lawrence. And in the Thatcher era, anything that promoted gay.

Hey, the UK led the way in censoring Shakespeare -- remember Thomas Bowdler and his family friendly editions of the Bard?

SW-User
@ChipmunkErnie The late Tudor and early Jacobian playwrights had to treat very carefully.

@ChipmunkErnie I sort of wish some of his plays had been banned for the four years I was in high school. Keep Macbeth and hamlet. I really didn't like R and J.

Why do the feds have such a hard-on about banning books now?
I mean it started with LGBT books and of course the conservatives were happy but now they are just going for damn near ANY books to ban.
