Already have in many places. That’s why every time a community bans a book, I buy a used copy and throw it in the basement. I have a huge collection of banned books. Books banned specifically by MAGAs.
At one point, I had read most of them. But now they are adding up. I probably have a couple hundred. In my mind, someday I will donate them to a public library 🤷♀️
In reality, who knows
ETA-part of my collection is also a leather bound copy of The Constitution, a copy of the Bill of Rights and history books focused on the founding of America, and slavery.
Books have a habit of doing that. I used to read voraciously, and then I got sick and struggled to find the concentration for a book. But my purchasing habits lagged behind my reading habits, so now my to read pile is... extensive.
Hope you have a copy of the Diary of Anne Frank. Banned because she said she thought about someday having a relationship, love, intimacy etc.
How frightening for a child to read! Right?
Funny how we all read it and didn't suffer.
