    What a lacklustre straw man. Look, I can completely ignore context too!

    The Disney movie “Ruby Bridges” (banned) and the Anarchist Cookbook (also banned) are way totally completely equally deserving of a ban in schools.

    Here’s the synopsis of the banned movie, btw:

    This film presents the real-life tale of young Ruby Bridges (Chaz Monet), one of the first African-American children to attend an integrated school in the Deep South. At only age 6, Ruby is selected to attend an all-white school in New Orleans, causing an uproar in the racially divided region. Among the people who try to help Ruby adjust to the tense situation are teacher Barbara Henry (Penelope Ann Miller) and Dr. Robert Coles (Kevin Pollak), a child psychiatrist.

    Both banned, therefore exactly the same. Yup.
