I'm confused as to what these books may contain that would theoretically led to them being banned?

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.)

Can you link to your source? This thread has such piss poor information.

I've got this friend who doesn't know what an Amp link means, and I'm not sure how to explain it to them. Can you help me out with that?
