> You can have the book at school, but the school library won't have it. False.

The books on this list are not considered banned because of decisions made by a librarian figuring out how to fill their limited space. Even if the librarian (or in some cases, eve…

> The school won't kick you out for having the book, but they won't buy it. You keep saying this all over this thread, can you please tell me how you are reaching this conclusion? …

> You can have it with you, but it won't be available in the school library. No, they are "prohibited in the school setting". You cannot bring it with you.

> Yeah this is a strange way to define "banned books". Pen clearly defines what they consider a ban. Hustler would not meet the definition (hint: it's not because its a magazine).

We're talking about an article titled "The Most Banned Books _in U.S. Schools_", I thought the "in U.S. schools" part provided the context, but I suppose not.

> There's state-level law saying it's illegal to own or read some books on this list? Sorry, I'll edit my comment to be more clear. It is illegal for school libraries to stock it, …

> Which books and which law? The one I was referring to: https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2024/08/02/utah-book-b... " The law, which went into effect July 1, requires that a b…

The fun thing about the computer fraud and abuse act is that just about anything can be made into a federal crime with it!

You say your mornings are sacred now; before you made the change did you treat your nights as sacred? Do you think you were always a "morning person", but didn't/couldn't realize i…

I'm just pointing out that it's weird to say you changed it for length reasons if you make the new title the same length.

Super weird to call me out and make a strawman of my comment in a place I'm less likely to see it. > wanted to have a more positive framing showing the original post really did mak…

The thing is, you can do the same statistics without including the user's email address or otherwise directly linking a data point to a specific person. They may need to retain cer…

> Both for length reasons The original title is 75 characters. Your title is 74 characters. If it was edited for length reasons, I'm not sure saving 1 character is worth it.

tomhow is the other one, and evidently the one who changed the title. apparently for "clickbait" and "length".
