Relaaaax ... everything will be alright

 This book censoring and author cancelling thing is getting tiresome. It's being done by both sides of the political aisle while each hypocritically complains about the other.

I think individual communities and schools have the right to decide what is age appropriate for their youth. Beyond that, just mind your own business, read or don't read what you want, and chill out.

Per usual, I continue to boycott boycotts and think the world would be a better place if everyone adhered to my not-so-original advice of: Mind your own beeswax.

As with everything else, Goodreads is being ruined by cancel culture and wokeness. It’s now a regular occurrence for authors to become the target of review-bombing campaigns, often targeting books that haven’t even been published yet.

It is blindingly obvious that libraries, like public schools, have absolutely no interest in actually ensuring that people have access to a wide range of literature and information from various religious and ideological perspectives.
