Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and Dr. Seuss (But only when Melania Trump reads it, not Michelle Obama) to name a few.

And while not a book, but just a general point on censorship, California, New Jersey, and other states passed laws or school policies to ban pro-gun clothing in schools.

It's worth noting that, according to PEN America, for a book to be put on the banned list, it doesn't actually have to be banned - just that someone has requested that a school look into whether something is age appropriate or not.

Edit: They're both on the ALA Top 100 Banned Books list. I used those sources because they specifically call out the people banning them. Also love how direct evidence of the Dr. Seuss hierocracy is completely written off because you don't agree with the website that compiled the tweets.

Books are added/removed from library lists all the time. You obviously can't carry every single book in existence. Someone is always making decisions on what to put on the shelves. Every person making a big deal about this, regardless of their stance, is just looking for cheap political points.
Oh look, OP conveniently included a link to donate to a Democrat PAC. What a surprise.

Fabricated outrage is so financially lucrative for politicians.
