(via ‘Maus’ Tops Bestseller Lists After TN School District Yanks It)

This is the part that makes me laugh:

If the parents that banned the book had thought about it a little, they would have realized that THEIR kids likely wouldn’t have read that book for anything - and would have complained loudly and continuously if they had been forced to read it. Seriously - their kids probably hate books anyway?!?!?!

But - instead they have made it into a desirable and sought after FORBIDDEN BOOK, which is the one book a kid like that might want to seek out to see what i so damn juicy about it.

Streisand effect Phenomenon that attempting to hide information attracts more attention to it The Streisand effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the Internet. It is named after American singer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project’s photograph of her residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.
