Banned from Facebook for Three Days Over a Comment About a School Board Meeting

I wrote a comment under a local news article about the school board voting on library books. I said I thought parents should get a say if their kid checks out certain titles. Facebook flagged it as hate speech and suspended me for 72 hours. I appealed and it took them nearly two weeks to even look at it. Has anyone else gotten hit just for talking about school policy?

Yeah I got a 7 day ban for saying "maybe parents should know" in a school group, total overreach.

Did you get a reason at least @victor219? That's such a weird thing to ban for. I swear mods on those group pages just get power hungry sometimes.
