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.

There are many videos on YouTube with Moms for Liberty reading out passage after passage of the things they object to. They are easy to find. If you want someone here to give you a list, it looks like that’s not going to happen.
Time to start a banned book reading club at your school
I’ve said for a while now that we have an exit plan if Trump gets back into power and it’s not an idle thread, because I’m Jewish, my daughter is Jewish and queer, and my wife is a librarian.
People laugh about the last part because they don’t realize that Republicans are trying to pass laws to jail librarians for offering these books in their libraries.
I just keep buying more banned books when I see articles like this!
Gotta support those authors. Sometimes these books are perfect for the little free libraries around town too
who cares
