If those books are bAnNeD, then how'd so many of them wind up on that table. For sale. To just anybody who walks by?

A banned book is defined as such if it is banned anywhere.

A singular hillbilly school in the middle of no-where bans a book?

It gets extra publicity as a banned book because it technically is.

Something closer to a banned book would be one of Maquis De Shade's stories, but even then, that stuff is overatted and publically aviable.

A true banned book only has a few copies left in existence due to a crackdown, and no one has ever heard of it.

By which they really mean, "refused to buy a copy of the book for their library".

To be fair, I thought Lord of the flies and Catcher in the rye were pretty cool.

If I am ever stranded in an area that is isolated from adults and lawless, I am going to be just like Jack Merridew, but even moreso.

But is Lord of the Flies banned? It was required reading when I was in high school and now my son is also reading it...

The definition of "safe edgy".

I said this in the thread but:

All it takes for a book to be considered a banned book is one school in the middle of nowhere to ban it.

Lord of the flies has "muh heckin ebil violence" so I suppose it may have gotten banned by one pearl clutch school meanwhile all other schools have it.

My school had the Asoiaf books next to middle schooler comics, such as Bone. 🤣

There's a real-life Lord of The Flies situation that, predictably, went nothing like the novel.

As many of you know, I used to date a mulatto lchildren's librarian who was adopted and it turned out her birth mother was in a lesbian relationship with a bulldyke in San Francisco. She also had some social issues with wanting to be accepted so sh would go with whatever was trendy at the time, like Mindless Self Indulgence even though it's a terrible band and the lead singer is a known pedophile, child pornographer, and rapist. I am so glad she left me because I am certain she would be weak enough to support this horrid propaganda.

Leftists when you choose the banned book "Camp of the Saints" instead of "The Handjob's Tale" or "The Gay Nigger Buttsex Guide For 5 Year Olds"
