Margaret Sullivan , The Washington Post; Book bans are threatening American democracy. Here’s how to fight back.
"“People need to mobilize, because the efforts to ban books are very active and very organized,” Nossel said.
It’s also important to keep in mind — and raise your voice to say — that book bans run counter to a core tenet of what America is supposed to stand for.
So if you’re worried about threats to democracy involving voting rights, gerrymandering and the peaceful transfer of power after elections, you should save a little mental space for this, too.
Opposing censorship in the form of book banning is a part of the same crucial fight."
