Weren't some states instituting book bans for subjects considered "harmful"? This seems like a prime opportunity to twist some poorly written state laws and do some actual good with them.

I'm not sure this book has actually been published in physical media, but I agree.

No I am wrong, you can buy it on Amazon.

No. States were removing books from school libraries based on content, though. I always feel a bit bitter when I research something and realize I've been misled. Book banning isn't really allowed.

While this book existing is whatever, it shouldn't be in any school. Hopefully no public libraries either.
