I would also like to bring your attention to the Florida school book ban which applies not just to new editions of one author, but to an entire state's education system.
> Among the titles that have been removed and banned in the course of the vetting in her school district are Toni Morrison’s ‘The Bluest Eye,’ ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini, ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus, ‘Revolting Rhymes’ by Roald Dahl, and a skateboarding magazine called ‘Thrasher’.

I don't really care that much about what's in school libraries, to be honest - almost no one actually gets books from there anymore. What's much more significant, at a societal level, is what publishers choose to (not) put out.
"Approved on March 25 by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, HB 1467 gives parents and members of the public increased access to the process of selecting and removing school library books and instructional materials."
So you would be absolutely incorrect. This was absolutely about banning books from schools, not just the curriculum - an unashamed "you will not say these things in school", grab for power.

Yeah and I don't super care for schools either, but unfortunately they are a mandatory way to brain wash young people unable to completely think for themselves...
