    This is as stupid as saying “People don’t attempt to negotiate higher wages, it’s always unions that do it!”

    It’s still wrong, but - sometimes these headlines are wild.

      Disagree.

      72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups, government entities and elected officials, board members and administrators, reported the American Library Association (ALA).

      These are all roles frequently populated by control freaks. That makes them different from typical parents. I think it’s an important distinction.
