The US does not ban books outright but they do ban some of them from public libraries, especially school libraries, and for good reason.
What’s the good reason to ban a book? Because it makes you think?
There aren’t any.
Christ, no. “Making you think” is kinda the whole reason books exist, so I don’t know why you would think that?
Probably because your previous comment said that books are banned “for good reason”
It also said “public libraries” which the comment I replied to (intentionally) omitted.
It’s a bad faith argument. They want to intentionally conflate removing books from children’s libraries with banning them from the country altogether.
