[@AngelAbroad_TX]

@@ManChan-w5p I agree, but I’ve been to jails and prisons. None of them have adequate reading material for the inmates who want to read. Many incarcerated people are educated and return to books when they’re on the inside.

[@ManChan-w5p]

@@AngelAbroad_TX Oh I am familiar. I did seven in the state of sunshine. Learned about entrapment. While in it was rare to encounter a well read individual. I did read Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment" but a simplified version. Incarcerated facilities are understaffed therefore bringing anything in is seen as a security risk. Even books which can hide narcotics.

[@AngelAbroad_TX]

@@ManChan-w5p Indeed. The few bad apples spoil the whole bunch, therefore causing Officials to implement reactionary policies that prohibit positive change for those who actually want to overcome incarceration. It’s a wicked revolving door that only the rare few are strong enough to overcome. Books are highly sought after by most inmates, however. Reading provides an escape from the awfulness of jail and prison. My experience is that those who haven’t read a book in a long time or perhaps never, are the most captivated by reading. And that’s a good thing. 😇

[@artbagley1406]

There's usually, depending on the education and experience levels of the library staff, some retention of older copyright books so as to represent the thinking of the "era" in which they were published. Also, there are several highly respected reference works that prescribe (highly recommend) books that should be in ANY COLLEGE LIBRARY. The decision to "weed" a particular title is usually based on several sources and procedural steps. This was NOT a "willy-nilly" tossing out of materials. I was a collection development librarian at a 4-year university for 31 years and know what's involved. The water damaged items, yes, get them out NOW before mold infests the other materials (shelf, carpet, other books, the air).

[@sabrebre2003]

@@TheWarriorScout getting rid of any material is wrong. Gender studies should have never been in schools to begin with. We don’t have fae books in colleges but they exist. Once you eliminate one side of freedoms then that opens a can of worms to all sides being eliminated. Gender studies is a joke and it should be an obvious concept to have for everyone that biologically there is only two sexes. When we began to play into this mindset then it develops into our real world, you can manipulate this with anything to be honest. If we were to put fae books in a college classroom and teach these young adults that this is real then they would become indoctrinated to the idea and reality and start to morph our reality to fit that. Overall it’s just dumb that society has become this complicated.
