米国において、性的表現が含まれている等の名目で、ジェンダーアイデンティティやセクシャリティに関する本を図書館から排除しようとする運動が（前からあったとはいえ）活発化している模様。/ Censoring books at schools and libraries is never a good idea https://t.co/yR4fTEXIPv

Yet every year, we read or hear the news that parents or citizens somewhere — earlier this week, in west suburban Downers Grove — are clamoring to have a book they deem offensive taken off the shelves of their child’s school library or their local public library.

According to protesters, the book exposes children to “homoerotic” or “pornographic” content.

It is not the job of this editorial board to judge whether a book is too sexually explicit, profane, violent or otherwise unfit for a child, teenager or another adult to read.

Nor is it the job of conservative culture warriors — or anyone else.

Good literature can sometimes make us uncomfortable, for any number of reasons. Censorship is never the right response.

Besides, once it starts, where does it end?

Books in our schools and libraries must be protected. Even when we don’t approve of them.
