I thought that was a Qu'ran at first. I've heard of them being challenged, especially in the context of post 9/11 Islamophobia, but I'm glad to see they didn't top the list of challenges books.

Thanks to Florida pretty much every book can claim to be challenged now 🙄 I bet every person so afraid of the "liberal agenda" let their kids read The Little Hen which is about as communist as it gets.

I've read catcher in the rye. I'm convinced that it's only banned because it's shit.

Same, my grand is the librarian at my school and when I say she’ll fight tooth and nail just to put up and let these kids get access to banned books, I mean it. We even have a whole LGBT+ section in our fiction section since it’s ordered by genre and not but author
