Do people generally feel super attached to having taken AP English in high school or does that just seem overrepresented whenever there’s a lot of Taylor Swift in the air?

I think people feel the most comfortable defending old books bc they're "canon" bc we've made the mistake of trying to defend each book on its merits-- when it's not about the books at all. They're banning good books and mid books and bad books bc they want to defund public education 😤

Like, yes, it’s all bad! Those old books shouldn’t be getting banned either. It’s just my priorities are slightly elsewhere irt banned books.

When those Most Frequently Banned Books lists are all books from dead authors, it kinda suggests to me that they’ve accumulated an outsized amount of bans since they’ve all been around a long time, much longer than books by living authors. I don’t think William Golding needs your dollars right now.
