"Left vs Right" and "cancel culture"

Found a pretty interesting list, top 10 "challenged books" (books that are banned from school libraries etc.)

http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10


It is interesting for two reasons:

1) It shows a glaring discrepancy in the scale of "cancel culture" - during past 4 years only 4 books out of 41 were "cancelled" by "leftist mob" - the rest are banned because of their coverage of LGBT characters, police issues etc. (The statistics are even worse if you dip into previous years).

2) It also makes a pretty good reading list. :)

quite of a sudden I became very interested in George by Alex Gino which consistently occupies #1 spot. :)
