All the bans or objections are based on age appropriateness of the material. It’s not censorship; it’s responsible parenting as best that can be done given what can be found on the internet or in playground discussions during recess.
Book bans take away a parent’s freedom to decide what is appropriate for their child. Just because one parent is afraid of their kid learning something, doesn’t mean that choice should be taken away from all parents. Freedom!
I guess it was bound to happen but finally the dirty subject of woke politics invades the otherwise wholesome “My Dad is Dracula” comic…
Most of these bans or objections are based on age appropriateness of the material available in the school library, not outright censorship. A lot of folks skip over this important part in order to “villainize” the “other side.”
The problem is that the book generally regarded as “ground zero” for the latest round was a so-called “graphic novel”, or novel-length square-bound comic book, that featured uncensored X-rated content.
The book was not meant for minors, yet at least two school libraries stocked the book.
So there actually is a concern when it comes to age-appropriateness, but because the book in question explored LGBT issues the narrative is that it was banned due to bigotry.
