These are some of the books that, at one time, were banned for various reasons. With the drive to ban books concerning LGBTQ, race, women, and minorities, a dangerous precedent is unfolding. This is nothing new. At one time slaves would be severely punished if they were caught reading a book. This book-banning scenario is happening all over the world.
It is up to all of us to see that this doesn't take hold. Authors, teachers, students, parents, and others must stand up and say no to those who only want us to do what they say and not to speak or read for ourselves. Many came to America to escape such restrictions. I'm sure that we don't want something like this to happen again.
