I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Another thing I’ll add. People who come into a bookstore and cover, hide, rearrange books—they suck, but mostly they’re just a nuisance. We put the books back. And then we display more on the subject. Literally the dumbest thing you can do in terms of “activism.” But Stephen says it best here.
There's been a rash in people objecting to books about Palestine in our bookstore, so I put up a sign.
