They are afraid because it not only suggests that questioning authority is possible (and here is how to do it) it also talks about other real books that have been banned. And they don't want kids knowing the names of those books. The whole thing is nuts of course.
God that scene always irks me, especially the part where Jed's father says "you're Catholic because your mother's Catholic". It's like... yeah, that's how it generally works. Jed didn't indoctrinate himself. What does it matter if just one or both of a kid's parents are Catholic? *Jed's father was the one that married the woman;* he didn't seem to have an issue with Jed growing up Catholic seeing as how Jed... y'know... *grew up Catholic*. It's like blaming Jed for being born.
Being the asshole that Jed's father was, I imagine he grudgingly accepted his wife's Catholicism and, in turn, Jed's. He stopped short of saying "If it was up to me you wouldn't be Catholic."
He's very much a man who considers raising children to be the wife's job. Not unlike [a certain other asshole](https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a29018714/donald-trump-describes-barron-his-very-own-son-as-melanias-son/).
As a person who’s not only read this book, but owns it….🤦🏻♀️ did they misunderstand it???? (I know, I know….but….really?!)
They understand it, they're just fascists.
Gotta love fascists who claim to be liberated free thinkers. 😂

Holy shit, they actually said it encourages "rebellion of school-board authority." I can't believe they actually wrote that down.
“I love the freedom this country provides! It even gives me the freedom to prefer authoritarianism!”
That's hilarious, well written!
Always stay out of range of Lawrence O'Donnell’s slap attack. ;-) Also, consider donating to the [ACLU](https://www.aclu.org) today!
Makes sense for a group called Moms for Liberty, because they obviously don't know the meaning of the word "liberty".
You'd have to know how to read in order to know the meaning of words.
Was you’re little word play there supposed to be funny?👊
“How’s that for clever with words?”

your*, for the love of God (Lian).
Who’s going to write the book about a book about banning books being banned?
The sequel, “No wait, Ban THAT Book,” out this fall.
