So, you should organize a book burning party, I bet you would be THRILLED at that prospect.

I could see him jumping into the fire to rescue the X-rated manga and Spongebob No-Pants pop-up books.

In keeping with conservative ideals in maintaining their librarys, school districts are banning some selected books.

One of the books banned is the Bible.

I do see some humor here. 🤣

While not in this article, I also heard that another book ban was Trump's "Art of the Deal".

Enjoying my morning coffee over this. 😜

What these Texas geniuses don't understand is banning books automatically increases the likelihood people will read them. Create a taboo, and that's exactly what people are going to want. It's human nature. All you have to do is look at alcohol consumption during prohibition, pot smoking in the last 60 years, porn, and banned books that have become bestsellers.
