@admitsWrongIfProven Agreed that age-appropriate may be a reasonable basis for library curation choices. But then much of the "book banning" debate in the US is just disagreement about whether LGBTQ+ themes are age appropriate. I think they are appropriate for any age, but others disagree.

You hint that "nonviolent ideas" might be a criterion. If so, that clearly distinguishes the Turner Diaries (which is agitprop for violent revolutionary racism) and could justify its suppression. 1/

@admitsWrongIfProven But that could justify lots of eg Marx and Marxist works as well. As well as, say, writings by founders of the American republic, who after all advocated violent revolution under the circumstances in which they lived. /fin
