At the San Francisco Chronicle, author Seema Yasmin points out that there has been a rise in “soft” book bans, that is, book bans that go on in the absence of any stated rules. The public doesn’t hear of them, but they’re there.

A snippet:

The vague nature of book-banning bills and the atmosphere of punitive retaliation for including a potentially bannable book in a classroom library, means soft-bans are likely also on the rise. But it’s hard to say because soft-book bans are not documented in the same way as state or school-district-mandated bans.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
