What's the good reason to ban a book? Because it makes you think?

What's the good reason to ban a book?

There aren't any.

Because it makes you think?

Christ, no. "Making you think" is kinda the whole reason books exist, so I don't know why you would think that?

Probably because your previous comment said that books are banned "for good reason"

It also said "public libraries" which the comment I replied to (intentionally) omitted.

It's a bad faith argument. They want to intentionally conflate removing books from children's libraries with banning them from the country altogether.
