Might be faster to list books that aren't banned
These nutjobs will only be happy when there is 1 book in every library: the bible. F them.
Don't forget Mein Kampf.
I wish you were joking... I just went down a minor rabbit hole; Mein Kampf is clearly not generally banned in the USA and is "an important part of education if students learn about Hitler", so not banned in many/most(?) school libraries either.
But the Bible is full of sex and violence! They want the edited version that's all Peace (conditions apply), Love (conditions apply, but not age restrictions), and Rainbows (non-gay only)!
Now that's an obscene book!
