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

@Patriot96 lefties, where did you hear/see that?

@samueltyler2 several years ago there was a move by liberals because it contained the N word

@Patriot96 and your source on that is what?

@samueltyler2 my very accurate memory

@Patriot96 oh, that is a wonderful answer. Why is it that you scream when someone disagrees and demand our references, but it is okay for you.

There has been controversy about Tom Sawyer Almost since It was released, and some have complained about some words, but, mostly the complaints are from slavery deniers.

@Patriot96 They banned Dr Seuss too.

@Musicman you are using the wrong term! Banning is an official act by a government or quadi-governmental agency.

@samueltyler2 This was school boards run by Democrats.

@Musicman but not officially banned, and most school boards are non-political. Please cite the ones you are reporting, Dr. Seuss?

@samueltyler2 Nope! No matter what I sent you, you would never believe it. Google it yourself. I am not going to spend the night having a argument.

@Musicman as usual, you made a claim and refuse to cite your sources. In fact the state of VA clarified that the Loudin schools did not ban Dr. Seuss. What happened was that the publisher stated it will stop printing some of the books that the publisher and author's family felt might be called racist. You can find the clarification in many media, printed and electronic. I am not spending time countering your claims, based on false interpretation of what actually happened.
