The move to ban books in US schools is eerily similar to the plot in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I consider it a 🚩that a certain political movement would go out of its way to create a more uneducated and underexposed populace. It makes me sad that a younger generation may lose the opportunity to be exposed to new ideas or ways of life not easily accessible to them due to their upbringing. Growing up in strict immigrant, religious household in the Deep South, I would have grown up to be a close-minded adult with very little desire to leave my small suburban town if not for the books that I read from my school library. Here the list of the 11 most banned books in US schools 2022-2023 according to PEN America: https://pen.org/banned-books-list-fall-2022/ Here’s the exhaustive list: https://pen.org/2023-banned-book-list/ Buy them, read them, and share them. Stockpile books that same way you stack sats.

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything-anger, anxiety, or possessions-we cannot be free." —Thich Naht Hahn
