    Lmao at C.S Lewis “promoting mysticism” he was so fucking Christian literally every book he ever wrote is about being Christian and shit

    Idk how A Wrinkle in Time is “occult” or whatever I seem to remember it being kind of Christian actually 🤔

    And Where the Sidewalk Ends has got to be one of the most charming and harmless books there is

    They said it couldn’t be done, that without organized religion we would leave all that silliness behind.

    Continuing our national tradition of moral panics, synthesizing it with edgy internet atheism;

    At least some of those reasons are likely fake. “Depicting women in strong leadership positions” is a little too on the nose, but it could still be real. But “being anti-logging” is silly and “encouraging violence against fathers” for Hop on Pop is downright parody. And the one for I am Jazz reads like someone transitioning from parody to just plain criticism (of the book banners, that is).

      "Encouraging violence against fathers” for Hop on Pop

      As a father of kids who do in fact like to hop on pop, I get this one.
