Book bans were never about "protecting the kids," but censoring what the right disagrees with. And they've shown their true colors by banning, without apparent irony, a book about book bans.
No sex, no homosexuality, not even an attempt to sneak in a lesson about slavery, just censoring a book that illuminates their censorship efforts.
Christian nationalists are headed towards China-level oppression.
