Cleaned out my old high school locker and found a book list from 2005
Honestly, I was just tossing old junk, but I found a folded paper with the ten books we were told not to read for a project. Tbh, I counted them up and eight of those titles are now on the American Library Association's most challenged list. It hit me that the stuff they tried to hide from us back then is exactly what people are fighting to keep on shelves now. Has anyone else had a moment like that, where you see how the 'dangerous' books from your past are still the main targets?

Yeah, it's wild how that list never really changes. I kept my old list and use it as a reading guide now, which honestly feels like the best comeback. They just keep trying to ban the same stories that actually make kids think.

Turn those bans into a school reading challenge.
