the librarian was put under investigation when she refused to ban the books.

> An investigation into the librarian was soon launched and the library closed as a "temporary safeguarding measure".

of course 1984 is one of the books being banned.

There is a reason why we need to safeguard the culture (old, recent & actual) for the future generations. This is a intergenerational responsibility that we need to tackle asap.

The onslaught is fully 'ON' and the slaught is fucking brutal.

I’ve heard that various religious texts have strong, sensitive sometimes violent themes. Yet nobody bans them. Wonder why.
