What purpose do book bans serve when those same books can be bought off Amazon?

It's ridiculous

Well the point of banning books in public libraries is to get people used to the idea of book bans in general. Eventually, if the Republicans control congress, they'll start banning books from private companies too.

@BohemianBabe Actually it's the other way around. ☹️
@Musicman You think they're going to ban books before gaining control of congress?
They might be able to do that at the state level, but definitely not the national level without full control. And it is really bad that they already have the SCOTUS.

@BohemianBabe The Democrats running school boards started banning books as soon as Biden got in. I know Dr Seuss was one.
@Musicman OMG. Are you trolling or do you really believe that?

@BohemianBabe 100% believe it. It was all over the news.
@Musicman So here is what actually happened.
The company that owns Dr Seuss' work decided to stop publishing five of his books. That's all. Nobody banned those books, you can still buy them online, the company just isn't making new copies of those five books anymore. And it had nothing to do with the Democrats. This was a decisions made by a private company.

See, this is what happens when you get your news from right-wing media.

@BohemianBabe LMAO!!! 😂😂😂 You can't possibly actually believe that! Have a goodnight.
@Musicman Show me evidence that the Democrats banned Dr Suess books or STFU.
