A visually informative exploration of literary censorship across history. It covers a wide range of works, from ancient texts like THE ART OF LOVE by Ovid to modern controversies such as THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas. This breadth ensures that readers gain perspective on how censorship has evolved over centuries. Due to its broad approach, the book often provides only brief summaries of each text‘s controversy rather than in-depth analysis.

Meet the author of one of the books recently challenged and heard at SCOTUS, ‘Pride Puppy‘, in this episode.

Spoiler alert: it‘s not a ‘grooming‘ book🙄

TieDyeDude I just read up on this “controversy,“ and, wow... talk about grasping at straws! They have no shame. 6d
JenniferEgnor @TieDyeDude right?! Meanwhile, you see arrests every day happening for people in the church doing these awful things…it‘s always ‘every accusation is a confession‘ with these people. 6d

ManyWordsLater I‘m having difficulty articulating to friends the difference because library curation and banning books. 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Well if you curate out anything to do with racism, gender, feminism, or transgender…you maybe are not curating a collection on a specific topic but removing a complete topic. For instance….race books out, Mein Kampf in…you could say more war history related…. But also out as feminism books about the underground movement of women in Afghanistan….which was probably pretty important in a fairly recent war. So I think it‘s the how, why, & ⤵️ 1mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ purpose. I am not a librarian, I should add. But I would think curating a collection is different from say removing from a library. My public library has the library, and a separate curated section on local history….but that does not mean they removed every book from the main library on any other subject. 1mo
shortsarahrose @ManyWordsLater - I‘ll add, as a library worker/person with a masters in library science, collection development has more to do with building a collection that reflects a wide range of viewpoints on any given topic - even those that we may not personally agree with or that the majority of our community may not agree with. Censorship is removing or refusing to purchase items that don‘t align with a certain view. 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa And why on earth Maya Angelou needed to be cut, only makes sense if it‘s a military curated collection…. But I did not see any other books of American classics novels of that sort listed. Just hers. And I find it hard to believe there was only 1 classic literature book in the library. No Steinbeck for example. 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @shortsarahrose Thank you! I knew we needed a librarian! When in doubt, always ask a librarian. 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Susanita right! I had heard about it when it happened, but today was the first time I had seen a complete list. Very interesting what topics the removed books seemed to be centered around. And so nice they included the topics for each books, and I‘m assuming the rational for pulling them. 1mo
ncsufoxes It‘s an odd collection of books, meaning it‘s kind of all over the place. A few repeated titles (some have different publication dates but some are repeated 2-3xs). There are only a few fiction books. I‘m surprised The 1619 Project wasn‘t on there. It is interesting to see what they find intimidating. My guess is whoever curated this list probably hasn‘t read one of these books. They probably used AI to generate the list. 1mo

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 2025 Bookclub Pick

First half better than the 2nd half. Enjoyed that the author came with facts and made historical comparisons. Did not expect it to predict current day issues despite being published in 2017.

A pop up shop inside Changing Hands Tempe , Az. I heard the conversations of teachers & staff talking of all the controversies & challenges. Hey , I know that most Littens are profoundly aware of all of this , I was happy to see customers who are discovering for the first time the extent of this BS !

Hooked_on_books That‘s great visibility! Good for them for bringing attention to this. 1mo

In the reference section of my Alma Mater working on a project for my Masters which I‘m getting at an entirely different university. But it‘s 5 hours from me and my Alma Mater is only 30 minutes. :D
