Yeah I don't know much about the Maus situation but I was pretty up in arms about a similar situation last year. The school district I grew up in decided to ban dozens of books and a bunch of scholarly resources about race or diversity from being available in school libraries or used in classes. The "harmful" books included things like All Are Welcome and Hair Love and I Am Rosa Parks and Skin Like Mine and Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and so many more. Other resources included things like "tolerance.org" and all of Jane Elliot's videos and I Am Not Your Negro and the list just goes on and on and on.

I don't think I was ever more digusted by where I grew up than I was over the course of the last year. The ban lasted a year, was met with huge protests from both former and current students and teachers from the school district, and was only overturned when it received national attention
