Banned Books From Shakespeare to Kendi

Book bans have been going on for a long time. Unfortunately there are people that don't seem to like books that have witches, talking animals, violence, drugs, cussing, dystopian hell scapes, girls that want an education, kids that question their sexuality or really anything that isn't part of their world view and instead of choosing not read it themselves, they wish to make sure no one else can read them either! Screw that! Read!
