Only fascists are banning books.

Are any books in america being banned? I would think that it would be almost impossible to ban books unless they go directly against the first amendment.

Censorship is different than banning. If you care about censorship happening inside public libraries, that always happens and its not a bad thing, we dont publicly provide every book to everyone.
