It's hilarious to think a teen who wants to read something won't find a way to do it.
Teens used to buy banned books and pass them around.
Now all they have to do is go to a library that supports free speech and read these books on line.

Nothing creates more demand for a book than to have it banned. My wife knows, she's a teen librarian.
