This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money
Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents
Last year 72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups and government entities; with just 16% of ban attempts made by parents

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:
1. 1929 (the Great Depression)
2. 1987 (Black Monday)
3. 2008 (the Great Recession)
4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY
And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I haven't seen a study that shows causation, but the states that ban the most books also have the worst rates of literacy and that isn't a coincidence.
book bans don't protect kids, they're about defunding public institutions of learning, & are often paired with vouchers, which are *also* unpopular

Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.
