Texas Reddit users take up the subject after the woman, whose husband died fighting fascism abroad, addressed a Florida school board meeting.
Many users discussed whether book bans are a good idea, or whether there's a better way to execute on the idea.
"I work for a school district that has had policies and processes in place for parents to object to a book for their student," user Pitiful-Prior-3337 wrote."Our school board has even recently stated that parents can choose for their own student but not other students when book objections have been addressed to the board at public meetings.", which limited the ability of junior high and high school officials to remove books from school libraries because of their content.
"Banned books and burning books are the same, both done for the same reason: fear of knowledge," Linn concluded in the video."Fear is not freedom. Fear is not liberty. Fear is control. My husband died as a father of freedom, I am a mother of liberty. Banned books need to be proudly displayed and protected from school districts like this."
