This display shows some of the books that have been banned all over the world as well as well as throughout the US. The words covering the books are the quoted reasons each book was banned. Take a look and see which of your favorite books have been banned and why.
Pro Communist and Contains Explicit Sexual Matter ..... 1984
Vulgar Words ....... The Grapes of Wrath and other writings by John Steinbeck
Blasphemous and Undermines Morality ..... The Catcher in The Rye
Sex, Promiscuity and the overall decadence of it's characters ..... The Sun also Rises
Sexual and Social Explicitness .... The Color Purple
Filthy Trashy Novel ........ To Kill a Mockingbird
etc. etc.
Funny how the display lists why the book was banned, but not who is banning the books.
Funny how liberals want to silence free speach, ban books and limit the rights to free speech, free enterprise and free elections. One only needs to look at social media to see how perverse and pervasive liberal censorship has gotten.
Oh well, We were warned. Little did we know 1984 was a prophetic book and Idiocracy foretells our near future.
Leftist librarians do this drama every year.
Any book that has its age appropriate propriety questioned.
Librarians are not your friends
Anything written before 2010 should be banned as racist and homophobic.
I have found Bible based religious books are limited but anything with LGBT or feminist themes are readily available.
They’re available on Amazon.
I identified with Caulfield's roommate, the 'secret slob', because sometimes I had to shave twice.
Actually it’s not even older books, films and TV shows that are controversial. Even recent TV shows and movies are now being described as racist, xenophobic, culturally insensitive and are under attack by who? That’s right the very liberals that are responsible for producing current TV shows and movies.
Remember when Dave Chapelle used to be falling on the floor funny? What’s changed? Nothing, yet now liberals are screaming mad at his hateful rhetoric.
I guarantee this is not the reason.
They are available at my public library.
.
That too. So who’s banning them where?
Liberals still pretend only conservative Christian Republicans banned books and still want to.
It seems a bit contrary on the one hand to ban books that are deemed sexually explicit, while embracing and promoting a pedophile agenda. It’s like the Party of Abortion touting laws about health.
It wasn’t really banned. Same with the rest of these books. They list something “banned” when it is taken off some high school class’s regular reading list.
There are countries that really banned books and jailed people for owning illegal copies.
This here is just nonsense.
According to the OP they have been banned in the past.

When you want to ban books (or ban people), you always begin with the most odious examples.
Amazon's deplatforming in the U.S. began in 2017.
And Amazon stops selling Holocaust-denial books
By 2020, Amazon was banning books offensive to gays: Cancel Culture: Our renowned health book suddenly banned by Amazon - after 3½ years of successful sales.
And Amazon stops selling books by Catholic psychologist amid LGBT activist pressure
Covid books were also being banned: Amazon Bans Book on Coronavirus from Lockdown Critic Alex Berenson
Notice the trend. You begin by banning Holocaust deniers. Then move to ban criticisms of the gay lifestyle. Then normal books critical of the Covid narrative are fair game.
It's the same with increasing the police state. First it's to fight child molesters or terrorists. Eventually, decent citizens are feeling the loss of liberties.
Catcher and The Hobbit. I got ¼ way through both an went back to reading histories... but I had to do some cliff note action on both.
The Baby Boomers of my generation adopted civil rights as their signature cause once the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law and expressed a popular virtue. This law was enacted just as the first Boomers graduated from high school, and therefore provided them numerous opportunities to express costless compassion.
Worse than their simple existence is that they form breding couples and begat through multi-generational psychological incest a legacy of ideologically mutant children and grandchildren. These offspring have become popularly known as the “Snowflakes” of present times.
All these descendants are contra-educated to abhor the Constitution, the virtuous and valorous founding of our country, and classical liberal principles found in values of the Enlightenment. They are perpetual children; are without essential humanity. They are empty, ignorant, feckless, emotional, overactive, and under challenged.
It seems to me all suffer from SISD or Self-Induced Stress Disorder.
Make sure you buy a stack of these for every teenager you know; they may be hard to find by the end of this century!
It might introduce a kid to a more conservative way of life; due to all of their brainwashing they most likely have no CLUE that we ‘Normals’ live this way.
And kids LOVE to think of themselves as ‘rebels’ so you’ll TOTALLY be ‘The Cool Auntie/Uncle’ who gave them BANNED BOOKS!
I would think self loathing white liberals would love TKAM as it depicts common ordinary white people as brutal racist daughter raping rednecks and black people as noble dignified hard-working heroes.
