Books are being banned across the country. This book, which you are currently reading, is the second-most banned book in the United States as I write this. This book, which has never taken a life. Never caused harm. A book that has helped build empathy. Helped so many of you learn about the agency you have as young adults. The power you already have to change this world. Your right to know the truth about the topics you live through on a daily basis that folks think are too heavy to discuss with you. They won’t ban assault weapons to protect you, but they will ban books.
