This does remind me of some news articles I read way back when. A southern town was on a ban all the books crusade. the school librarian went in to defend the books, they kept overriding her, so she said I found a book in the library. it contains mass slaughter, rape, incest. the town council went ape shit, started screaming that the book needed to be banned right now! how dare the school allow such a horrid sinful thing to be introduced to the children. Without even knowing the name or title of the book they banned it. While they were congratulating themselves the librarian said I have the book right here, tossed it on the table. It was a Bible. They banned the Bible.
Another article was you guessed it, southern city was on a ban crusade. teacher walked in, started talking about a horrible substance that that was deadly to human life. It was caustic in gaseous form, it is so caustic it can corrode metals, just think what it would do to the human body and highly flammable and explosive if it combines with other chemicals. It is highly addictive with no cure.
The city council banned it.
