I vaguely recall this and it did happen, I wish I could link a source.
It’s kind of out of context though. You can support having a book available with profane language and suggest that people not use such language at a school board meeting at the same time.
I whole heartedly agree with you. Context and language does matter.
That’s why using the term “ban” is completely disingenuous. There are some books that were removed from school libraries (and in a very small amount of cases, city public libraries) based on their subject matter. These books were still WIDELY available to purchase in book stores and online.
Nothing was “banned”. They were just removed from public school libraries.
Parents: reads what’s in some of the books in schools
Teachers: “I’ll ask you to not use profane and rude language like that, Sir”
Look it up. That actually happened
What in the world are you talking about?
“thatll teach them damn librals”
Look what up? What exactly do you want me to write in my search engine? I copied and pasted your entire first two sentences and got no results.

I could do the same thing with the book The Color Purple. That doesn’t mean we should ban The Color Purple
