they don't ban the old testament because it's all about control. Religion helps them with that. And all the reasons she stated why they aare banned is just bullshit. the books are banned cuz they have information that they won't want you to know. The goverment hates good informed people.

I can't believe to kill a mocking bird was on the list, it's a classic. It always christians group that front this movement they care more about controlling us than letting us be free to do what we want.
