This is Banned Books Week. Here are selections from replies to, and quote tweets of, Katelyn Burns' observation (2022-02-05) re: what media were and weren't mentioning about the conspicuous push to take books out of schools at the start of this year (that, yes, did include a lot of history mislabeled as CRT, but was much more):

Katelyn Burns (transscribe):

Noticing a lot of "banned book list" graphics going around that don't name many of the trans-related books that helped initiate this moral panic and yeah, I see what that is.

Frances_Larina (Frances_Larina):

If a banned books table (or photo of the same) has J.K.R. but doesn't have at least one of these, it's very likely not by accident:

Five, Six, Seven, Nate! - Tim Federle
Gender Queer - Maia Kobabe
The Breakaways - Cathy G. Johnson
Beyond Magenta - Susan Kuklin
Melissa - Alex Gino (also sold as George)
I Am Jazz - Jazz Jennings
Call Me Max - Kyle Lukoff

The Queen of Fuck Mountain (LesbianLaMaupin):

Just like people always talk about the nazis burning books, but never mention what those books were, or why they were being burned

Eileen Andrews (ThatEileenEnby):

Seriously. Books like NIGHT, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and 1984 will always survive a local school district ban. The literature they're really targeting will be successfully eliminated in their shadow.

AvilionAMillion (AvilionAMillion):

Reminder that the most banned book today in the US is about a transgender child coming out through a school play
