As much as I love my home state, there is no doubt that some of the people there are just.... wow...

I also love how they connected the stigma of social media to somehow support their argument that this one book is so dangerous that it has to be removed.

I would argue to the county that I could find no examples of people being hurt by this book or by anyone who reads it.

But, there are certain books that fuel massive aggression and bias. I can think of one in particular. I suspect plenty of people here know which one I am referring to.

I doubt the book mentioned in the OP has started any wars or oppressed anyone.
