I'm not a fan of censorship or the banning of books unless they are literally illegal to own or read. I think banning of books hurts more than it helps, because people will find ways of finding those books.
I bring this up, because read an article about how Texas recently become the state with the most banned books. I guess people are throwing a fit about any books relating to our struggles, but also LGBTQ issues, abortion, and more. And I'm sure anything that may put Texas in a bad light, like their history already does.
What do you think about censoring books and or banning them outright? Do you think libraries and states have a right to decide what should and shouldn't be in our libraries?
