I do not approve of burning books, full stop. I couldn’t care less whose imaginary friend the book is or isn’t about.

But I completely agree that the government should categorically not be legislating which books you can and cannot burn. Burning a book is a form of free speech. It’s often offensive to many people, but it’s still important - if for no other reason than it lets the people doing the burning show their true colors.

Exactly. People can burn anything they want in their backyard. Just keep out of public spaces

That’s absolutely not what I am saying.
