The move to ban books in US schools is eerily similar to the plot in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
I consider it a 🚩that a certain political movement would go out of its way to create a more uneducated and underexposed populace.

Growing up in strict immigrant, religious household in the Deep South, I would have grown up to be a close-minded adult with very little desire to leave my small suburban town if not for the books that I read from my school library.
