“The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison. “Forever” by Judi Blume. “Slaughterhouse-Five” by Kurt Vonnegut. All have been pulled from the shelves of some Florida schools, according to the latest list compiled by the Florida Department of Education tallying books removed by local school districts.

    I’m not sure why they bother, most people in this country aren’t interested in reading.

      It’s all about reducing the access to information to make people more gullible to propaganda.

      Books are one of the best sources of information you can have, much better than what you might read on the internet.

        Definitely agree, but even with open, free access to books people choose to read AI generated propaganda on online junk platforms instead.
