You are lingering nonetheless on the word rather than the importance of the issue, which is pushing back against book restrictions. So yes, you are absolutely engaging in deflective wordplay.

No, she is buying books that have been banned in different settings; attempts like yours to sideline with wordplay present the issue I try to avoid.
And to a point, yes. But rights like those in the First Amendment are created specifically to protect minority views within communities.

Now that we can see proganda in our mainstream media, are we ready to talk about the narratives being pushed in the porn industry? The alogrithms on those porn sites are also pushing a narrative, and it's not a good one. It's an addictive one, for sure.

Trump admitted in a furious meltdown that he handed out pardons in exchange for favours.
In only 10 months, trump has dispensed some of his 1,600 pardons to drug lords, corrupt politicians and crypto dealers.
President Biden only gave 140 pardons in 4 years.

From the great @hcrichardson.bsky.social, someone whose work I admire greatly. As we acknowledge the absurdity and look for how we may above it, donโt wait for a hero; heed instead her closing quote from S.S. McClure:

A book can be banned from circulation or sale within a certain place and be available elsewhere. In talking to our local school board, I avoid the word (instead citing โremoval,โ which is absolutely what they are doing) to get around arguments based more on wordplay than on the substance.
