The idea of censorship reminds me a lot of the red scare and how many great novels we've gotten because of that point in history. We don't read just learn reading and writing, we read to learn history and it's effect on us.

These hostile environments just lead to people who can't speak their minds. How will someone ever get and keep a job if they can't have an intellectual conversation with a person?

Calling something anti-family is the go-to book ban reasoning. It has no meaning at this point because it's used for everything. Are these anti-family books actually saying to leave your family, not start a family, etc.? Or are they just saying that sometimes family is tough to handle? Or nothing to these effects at all and doesn't even bad mouth families?

These aren't just modern works though, they're what we think of as classics and the thing to teach. If books that are classics and taught in every classroom are suddenly just as bad as the modern swill we read outside of a classroom, what do we have left to read?
