#2This is really interesting, I really like that the dataset is embedded in the page. Is there a general place where banned books are reported?

#3Book banning seems like a strange red line to have forgotten. If your kid is going to be corrupted by going into a library and finding a book that's naughtier than your taste, they're probably ahead of their similarly-corruptible peers who aren't in a library at all.

#6"Banned in the United States" does not mean the same thing as "Removed from Middle School Libraries"

#7> it’s important to note that they are to the end of positive social change
The end does not justify the means. Name me one single objectively bad political movement which internally thought of themselves as bad or negative. There isn't one. They all claim and for the largest part of their membership believe to serve the greater good. Therefore I find this argument of the author extremely weak. Surely they can come up with some less naive arguments?

I'm not in favor of banning books, but "it's not the worst thing that could possibly happen" isn't exactly a strong argument for supporting something.
