      It’s listed in the article. It’s “Forever” by Judy Blume. Not sure that I’m familiar with it.

      Really? I assumed it would be Are You There God it’s Me Margaret. What could they possibly find offensive about Superfudge?

          It’s about a girl and her friends discussing menstruation, and wishing they could menstruate, and being jealous of other girls who already menstruate, and praying to God that they menstruate soon. I can see where that would frighten pearl clutchers.

              Tbf in not sure if.its against women or against bodily functions. I assume they’d probably have issues with a similar book about male puberty.

          “An entire book about a girl asking if God is there!? What a waste of time! The answer is ‘Yes, God is there.’. We just saved you like 10 hours! (Though sometimes he may let you suffer or die without ever showing himself. But he’s a silly ole God, and it was probably for your own good anyways.)”

            If it takes you ten hours to read a Judy Blume book, that might be why you’re banning books.
