I haven’t seen any book banning per-se. I’ve seen removal of offering them for free using public funds or using certain material to education children.. So, libraries or curriculums, which are not a first amendment issue.

> banning of talking about LGBT topics in school.

I saw Florida law stopped discussing it AND not telling parents, prior to 10 or 12 (forget final age). Again, limitations on educators are not the same thing.

We always limit access of information to children as they develop. We don’t show them death or sex at a young age because it’s been shown to have some negative effects.

That’s fundamentally different than banning people from using the public square to discuss topics.
