A snippet " The Topic Concentration chart above lends the clearest picture into the implied rationale behind the bans. Namely, the bans are not and have not been about the physical removal of a book from a shelf. The bans instead are meant to:

Virtue signal by people in positions of institutional power to voting-age parents interested in school choice, parental rights, and wedge social issues to the detriment of non-voting age students

Reject and exclude topics that challenge a perceived status quo from the public discourse (e.g. non-heteronormativity, non-cis identity, non-traditional gender roles, and non-Judeo-Christian books are targeted) "

    You all act like sacred mathematical or historical content is being burned.

    This shit is literal porn for children that parents just don’t want their kids to see.

    Get a life and quit larping like you’re living in 1940’s Germany

      In defense of book banning, you’re accusing others of larping 1940’s Germany.

      That kind of stupidly doesn’t come naturally, that shit has to be taught.
