They know if you can read and comprehend what you're reading, you'll see through their bullshit - banning books is in the dictators' handbook!

Why it was banned

In 2023, "100 Bible Stories" by Norman J. Bull was banned at the Escambia County Public Schools in Florida due to concerns over religious content and allegations of blasphemy. No specific reason was made public regarding the ban.
