One thing that won't go away is the banned book trope, also known as local schools deciding what is appropriate for its students.
Just three states are responsible for 80 percent of known school book bans.
If nothing else, concentrate on the three states most responsible. Stop trying to make this a national crisis just so you can sell more books.
I banned books all the time in my house. There's some stuff I wanted my 13-year-old son to read and some stuff I didn't. If he wanted to read Penthouse magazine, I wasn't going to leave it on the dining room table for him. It was banned. Make him steal one from the local drug store like a real underage horndog.
Again, repeat after me, if you can buy a book at your local bookstore, it's not a banned book! Or the people doing the banning are really bad at banning things.
