Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

California and New York banned more books than Mississippi.

Well yeah, you don't have to ban many books when you've got a single digit literacy rate.

You may not be far off the mark. It's likely that a lot of the banned books aren't in libraries in Mississippi. They do their kids dirty.

In 2023 California banned banning books:

I couldn't find what books actually got banned in California. Some of those Cali districts are deep red though.

I’m pretty sure that Mississippi is deep red too.

Yep, I was just trying to see what exactly was banned in California and it turns out probably nothing now.
