I don't know if it's true, but I saw a TikTok that Trump is going to banning books to highlight governmental problems and such. So basically, all of the really good stories we read in school. How To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Handmaiden's Tale, etc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquamarie 351 Posted 11 hours ago At the state level there has been recently very active campaigns for banning books in schools and public libraries that contain anything “sexual”. this may seem well-meaning to outsiders, but the reality is they are using that language to target books that teach about the body/developing bodies, anything queer, and really anything who’s message they can twist to fit their narrative. You know what other famous political party banned books? 4 Quote ABRA - ADDISON RAE - AMAARAE - ARCA - BJÖRK - CARDOPUSHER - CAROLINE POLACHEK - CHARLI XCX - COBRAH - DOJA CAT - DOON KANDA - DUA LIPA - ELLIE GOULDING - ETHEL CAIN - FIONA APPLE - FKA TWIGS - GRIMES - HEIDI MONTAG - JANELLE MONÁE - KALI UCHIS - KELELA - KILO KISH - KISS FACILITY - KYLIE MINOGUE - LANA DEL REY - LORDE - MADONNA - OPN - PHOEBE BRIDGERS - PINKPANTHERESS - ROCHELLE JORDAN - ROSALÍA - SEGA BODEGA - SHYGIRL - SKY FERREIRA - SLAYYYTER - SOPHIE - SZA - T.A.T.U. - TAMARYN - TAYLOR SWIFT - TIM HECKER - TINASHE - TOMMY GENESIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However not be surprised if Project 2025 was explicitly in demand of banning books. 1 Quote ABRA - ADDISON RAE - AMAARAE - ARCA - BJÖRK - CARDOPUSHER - CAROLINE POLACHEK - CHARLI XCX - COBRAH - DOJA CAT - DOON KANDA - DUA LIPA - ELLIE GOULDING - ETHEL CAIN - FIONA APPLE - FKA TWIGS - GRIMES - HEIDI MONTAG - JANELLE MONÁE - KALI UCHIS - KELELA - KILO KISH - KISS FACILITY - KYLIE MINOGUE - LANA DEL REY - LORDE - MADONNA - OPN - PHOEBE BRIDGERS - PINKPANTHERESS - ROCHELLE JORDAN - ROSALÍA - SEGA BODEGA - SHYGIRL - SKY FERREIRA - SLAYYYTER - SOPHIE - SZA - T.A.T.U. - TAMARYN - TAYLOR SWIFT - TIM HECKER - TINASHE - TOMMY GENESIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluechemtrails 26,555 Posted 2 hours ago I think it's mostly about banning certain books from public or school libraries they even did this with the Bible (for good reasons, for once): https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/why-the-bible-is-getting-pulled-off-school-bookshelves/2022/12 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
