    What’s the good reason to ban a book?

    There aren’t any.

    Because it makes you think?

    Christ, no. “Making you think” is kinda the whole reason books exist, so I don’t know why you would think that?

        It also said “public libraries” which the comment I replied to (intentionally) omitted.

        It’s a bad faith argument. They want to intentionally conflate removing books from children’s libraries with banning them from the country altogether.
