      Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen anyone quote specific parts of challenged and banned books. They just say the content is this and that and leave it there.

      Tried even searching for specific quotes just now but can’t find anything. So I guess it either has never happened, or happens so rarely that instances of it are difficult to find.

      Yeah, school board meetings targeted by Moms for “Liberty”. Online, you can find rightwingers bitching, but it’s a lot of exaggerated stuff.

      In high school, I read some pretty sexual stuff (Canterbury Tales are fuckin vulgar, Toni Morrison writes in a very erotic way at times. Nobody ever bitched about that though because it was straight eroticism. Any page I’ve seen from these newer books is only “objectionable” because its not cishet sex/eroticism.
