 Ask yourself not, why are “conservatives” banning books- but rather, why are “liberals” pushing so hard for this book to be included in public school libraries.

I am a free speech maximalist. This book should be readily available for private purchase. However, the conversation is lost when hardly anyone has actually seen what is inside of these “banned” books. 

I believe the vast majority of people would agree this is inappropriate for public school. This should not be a partisan debate (quotations are used for emphasis).

Food for thought. What do you think? (genuinely curious to hear others opinions- more speech, not less)
