| The Anarchist Cookbook is a great example. I had to acquire that from the internet. The people responding here mainly just come across as either ignorant or intentionally obtuse, thinking that if they can prove that in some cases the school administration overruled our teachers and librarians on the most egregious texts (as they constantly did), then the entire idea of "banned book week" is performative and not useful No one here seems to have actually made a real point, just looking for "gotchas". |

| > It's just a well-known example of a book that most people would agree to restrict. That's just completely wrong. In America it's a book most libraries would keep around as a visible indicator that they're not censoring books, and a book the letter-writing busybodies who want to censor books would not prioritize because there's no sex in it. |

| > It's just a well-known example of a book that most people would agree to restrict. I don't think most reasonable people would agree to restrict such an impactful piece of history. It's shocking to me that people think something they disagree with should be entirely censored. |

| Mein Kampf has been available at every school I've been at. It's not part of the curriculum but why would it be? Libraries usually have it because they have robust collections on authoritarianism for obvious reasons. The Anarchist Cookbook not so much. But neither are terrorist training manuals or other guides for making improvised weapons. |
