There are so many books in print now about Chump, the MAGAs, the ultra-rightwing issues, evangelicals, racism and prejudice, assault weapons, the "religious right", fascists in America, etc. Surely some of these books are aimed at grooming younger Americans and it would be easy to see that they have no place in a public library. When it comes to banning books, maybe both sides should be doing it?
