When the #ACLU sues your county #SchoolBoard it’s a ‘good news’ & ‘bad news’ situation. mainstreetmediatn.com/articles

In the case of Rutherford County, #Tennessee the good news is that there’s hope that the list of #BannedBooks (currently 145 titles long) targeted by #Talibangelicals in the #MAGA cult *might* soon become just shameful #history.

The bad news is that a majority of our Board of Education is clueless about #education.

A recent study has found that banning a book actually increases its readership and circulation: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/ful

I'm in no way surprised by this. Everyone knows that the best way to get someone to do something is to forbid them from doing it. There's also no such thing as bad publicity. If I hear that a book I've never heard of has been banned somewhere, I'm obviously going to want to find out more about that book, and potentially to read it myself so that I can understand what all the fuss is about. #BannedBooks @bookstodon
