@Budwick yeah indeed, wanting people dead for their sexuality and the like is stupid!
Budwick · 70-79, M
@popmol Wanting them dead seems a bit harsh.
Keeping the out of family events like baseball games and children's classrooms seems reasonable.

Americans are champion book burners. It's one of their favorite hobbies.

1. Book criticising Puritanism (in Boston)
The first book burning incident in the Thirteen Colonies occurred in Boston in 1651 when William Pynchon, founder of Springfield, Massachusetts, published The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, which criticised the Puritans, who were then in power in Massachusetts. The book became the first banned book in North America, and subsequently all known copies were publicly burned. Pynchon left for England prior to a scheduled appearance in court, and never returned.[104][105][106]

2. Quaker books (in Boston)
In 1656 the authorities at Boston imprisoned the Quaker women preachers Ann Austin and Mary Fisher, who had arrived on a ship from Barbados. Among other things they were charged with "bringing with them and spreading here sundry books, wherein are contained most corrupt, heretical, and blasphemous doctrines contrary to the truth of the gospel here professed amongst us" as the colonial gazette put it. The books in question, about a hundred, were publicly burned in Boston's Market Square.[107]

3. "The Bonnie Blue Flag" (by Union General Benjamin Butler)
During the American Civil War, when Union Major General Benjamin Butler captured New Orleans he ordered the destruction of all copies of the music for the popular Confederate song "The Bonnie Blue Flag", as well as imposing a $500 fine on A. E. Blackmar who published this music.

4. "Lewd" books (by Anthony Comstock and the NYSSV)
Anthony Comstock founded the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (NYSSV) in 1873 and over the years burned 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plate, and almost 4 million pictures. The NYSSV was financed by wealthy and influential New York philanthropists. Lobbying the United States Congress also led to the enactment of the Comstock laws.

5. Theodore Dreiser's works (at Warsaw, Indiana)
Trustees of Warsaw, Indiana, ordered the burning of all the library's works by local author Theodore Dreiser in 1935.

6. Comic book burnings, 1948
In 1948, children – overseen by priests, teachers, and parents – publicly burned several hundred comic books in both Spencer, West Virginia, and Binghamton, New York. Once these stories were picked up by the national press wire services, similar events followed in many other cities.

7. Beatles burnings – Southern USA, 1966
John Lennon, member of the popular music group The Beatles, sparked outrage from religious conservatives in the Southern 'Bible Belt' states due to his quote 'The Beatles are more popular than Jesus' from an interview he had done in England five months previous to the Beatles' 1966 US Tour (their final tour as a group). Disc Jockeys, evangelists, and the Ku Klux Klan implored the local public to bring their Beatles records, books, magazines, posters and memorabilia to Beatles bonfire burning events.

8. Books burned by at order of school board in Drake, North Dakota, USA
On November 8, 1973, the custodian at Drake's elementary/high school used the school's furnace to burn 32 copies of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaugherhouse Five, at the order of the school board after they "deemed the novel profane and therefore unsuitable for use in class."[176] Other books reported to have been burned were Deliverance by James Dickey, and a short story anthology with stories from Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner, and John Steinbeck.

9. Harry Potter books (in various American cities)
Further information: Religious debates over the Harry Potter series
There have been several incidents of Harry Potter books being burned, including those directed by churches at Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Charleston, South Carolina, in 2006.[215] More recently books have been burnt in response to J.K. Rowling's comments on Donald Trump,[216] and to protest her gender-related views.[217][218]

10. Inventory of Prospero's Books (by proprietors Tom Wayne and W.E. Leathem)
On May 27, 2007, Tom Wayne and W.E. Leathem, the proprietors of Prospero's Books, a used book store in Kansas City, Missouri, publicly burned a portion of their inventory to protest what they perceived as society's increasing indifference to the printed word. The protest was interrupted by the Kansas City Fire Department on the grounds that Wayne and Leathem had failed to obtain the required permits.[219]

11. Non-approved Bibles, books and music in Canton, North Carolina
The Amazing Grace Baptist Church of Canton, North Carolina, headed by Pastor Marc Grizzard, intended to hold a book burning on Halloween 2009.[221][222] The church, being a King James Version exclusive church, held all other translations of the Bible to be heretical, and also considered both the writings of Christian writers and preachers such as Billy Graham and T.D. Jakes and most musical genres to be heretical expressions. However, a confluence of rain, oppositional protesters[223] and a state environmental protection law against open burning resulted in the church having to retreat into the edifice to ceremoniously tear apart and dump the media into a trash can (as recorded on video which was submitted to People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch blog);[224] nevertheless, the church claimed that the book "burning" was a success.[225]

In May 2013, two San Jose State University professors, department chair Alison Bridger, PhD and associate professor Craig Clements, PhD, were photographed holding a match to a book they disagreed with, The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, by Steve Goreham.

16. Theology library purge in North Carolina
Traditionalist Catholic seminarians purged a Boone, North Carolina, theology library in 2017 of works they considered heretical, including the writing of Henri Nouwen and Thomas Merton.

17. Tennessee Global Vision Bible Church book burning
On February 2, 2022, Pastor Greg Locke of the Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, led a book burning event with attendees also throwing books and other media into the fire. The burning was livestreamed on Facebook.[258] The burn pile was fed partially with dozens of wood forklift pallets. At one point Locke claimed that the fire department was trying to put the fire out but his security team was successfully blocking their access. Along with contributions from the crowd, a dumpster full of books was unveiled and burned by Locke and attendees.[259] Locke claimed it was his and the churches "biblical right" to "burn....cultic materials that they deem are a threat to their religious rights and freedoms and belief systems." On Instagram, Locke wrote that "anything tied to the Masonic Lodge needs to be destroyed."[260]
