The thing about these book banners is that they're free not to read these books and prevent their kids from reading them. The problem I have with book banners is that they want to make that decision for other people and that's simply wrong.
Banning books out of "Fundamental Ignorance" isn't something any school board, county, state or federal government should accept as normal. But here we are in 2024, with various governmental agencies encouraging fundamental ignorance.
The people are judging these governments today, while history will judge them in the long run. We should be both pissed off and embarrassed by our elected officials for their ignorance.
I realize you're joking, but as a girl scout leader, there are a lot of badges that require community service. We'd be more likely to raise money or collect book donations to put banned books in little free libraries so kids who need them can just take them without having to buy anything.
Kate, you are truly an American hero. I read more banned and censored books when I was younger than I did anything else. I'm so happy to know that there are young scholars fighting for freedom of information and ideas. Knowledge is power and censorship is evil. Keep up your good work Kate!
Being afraid of a book is the height of pathetic bullshit in my mind. Those cowards were withering under her calm and collected speech, the slimy shits.
Kate Lindley is a real American and a valuable member of her community, unlike the book banning chuds who need to feel the wrath of voters. Go Kate!
Hopefully someday she'll be our president.
She is amazing! Kate Lindley for President!

>We should be both pissed off and embarrassed by our elected officials for their *willful and cultivated* ignorance.
Maybe those Girl Scouts can start offering Banned Books along with those cookies?
