Working my way through a subject I know almost nothing about. Taking notes chapter by chapter. It’s a challenge but the writing is clear and concise. 2019 pub date shouldn’t deter as this is mostly background theory with future projection.

“Censorship and the suppression of reading materials are rarely about family values and almost always about control--about who is
snapping the whip, who is saying no, and who is saying go. Censorship's bottom line is this: if the novel Christine offends me, I don't want just to make sure it's kept from my kid; I want to make sure it's kept from your kid, as well, and all the kids. This bit of intellectual arrogance, undemocratic and as old as time, is best expressed this way: "If it's bad for me and my family, it's bad for everyone's family.”
