unfortunately, we have the problem in a few places in the US as well.

florida and texas in particular. [0]

last year florida has at least 2,300 instances of book bannings and texas had at least 1,700.

its wild to watch this all happen so quickly.

They are more or less importing this from the US, where this has been going on for a time already, especially at school libraries.
