@MotherDucker I grew up in the liberal fortress town of Boulder, CO. It was sometime in elementary school that my parents let me start walking the six blocks to the library all by myself to pick out any books I wanted. I would come home with a full backpack and I was set for the week. I didn't even know banned books were a thing until college, because I had read a bunch of them growing up and had easy access from the library.
And look at me now, writing all subversive 'n' shit.
