the librarian was put under investigation when she refused to ban the books.
> An investigation into the librarian was soon launched and the library closed as a "temporary safeguarding measure".
of course 1984 is one of the books being banned.

I’ve heard that various religious texts have strong, sensitive sometimes violent themes. Yet nobody bans them. Wonder why.

I wonder if Fahrenheit 451 was banned too?
Or maybe it was kept as a how-to manual?
