      Well, book burning is kinda dumb because most of them, if not all, are already digitized. It’s a statement at this point in time. While really stupid and backwards, expression is still a right and freedom that Americans enjoy.

      This is unlike other countries where you can be thrown in jail for something even lesser and never have a recourse or trial.

        Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite
