As a former English teacher turned homeschooler, I often witnessed the irony of the “banned books” themes that libraries and schools promoted each year, while stealthily “removing” books that didn’t cater to their staunch liberal viewpoints. Librarians have an inordinate amount of power to steer access to information in their communities, and they do this through “invisible” censorship actions like removing books or simply not bringing them into their collections. They are literally the ARMS of censorship.
I'm a published author (under a pseudonym, thank goodness, because I engage in way to much wrongthink), and I've been trying to explain this to people for years. The publishing industry is even more woke than Hollywood, and although they claim to be anti-censorship, their actions prove exactly the opposite. "Progressive" authors have been banning books and creating social media "blacklists" — for the most minor offensive imaginable — for ages.

This is an inflection point, we must use the momentum to return to heterodox thinking, classical liberal values, and free speech.
This is absolutely maddening! Thank you for sharing all of this fabulous information!
Thank you for reading! Please share widely- strength in numbers!
You use the word "genocide" as if you know what it means. It doesn't mean "whatever Israel does".
Have you got the whole list so I can make sure to support them?
