American Library Association’s annual propaganda exercise @BannedBooksWeek is here. Their list of 2022’s top supposedly “banned” books is revealing. All 13 are sexually explicit.
ALA tries to dismiss challenges: the books are only “claimed to be sexually explicit.” Put explicit porn in front of these people and they pretend to see Winnie the Pooh.
Seven books on the list also have an “LGBTQIA+” focus (so any objection is discriminatory!). Some include sexual abuse, rape, incest, profanity, or drug use.
Nothing to see here!
