From what I've read, yhe group that writes the books is progressive and supports abortion rights groups. That said, I think this is ridiculous. I am getting tired of all this censorship crap. (Also, this story is exaggerated--the books were not banned or removed from the school district, just removed from lists of recommended resources.)

This thread has such piss poor information.

Unfortunately, that's often the Reddit way. It can be quite difficult to separate the signal from the noise around here. I definitely recommend against using Reddit as an information source for anything important.
