And these books aren't banned, you just need a library card to take one home. They're far more accessible than alcohol. Anyone of any age can pull from public libraries. The analogy does work, because alcohol and non alcohol are Noth drinks, there are just some that are age appropriate and some that aren't. Kind of like books, but books are far, far more accessible and less strictly regulated, even when they're pulled from school libraries.
They're a problem now because literal pornographic images and descriptions were found in some books in some school libraries, and when it was called to attention, the left doubled-down and tried to gaslight people by saying it wasn't happening. The problem was, it *was happening, there was proof, and images and passenges were leaked.
Now, I think we've got an overreach problem, but don't get it wrong, this was absolutely a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just remove anything pornographic and we would have been good.
So, like, also the Bible right?
Depending on the version, sure.
Is there a version that leaves out the 'let's rape Dad to get preggers' story?
