My pastor told me to stop pushing to pull a book off the church library shelf, and he was right
Six months ago I flipped out when I saw "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" sitting on our church library shelf in Fort Wayne. I printed out the page with the date rape scene and brought it to Pastor Dan expecting him to yank it that same day. Instead he asked me one question: "Have you read the whole thing, or just the parts you were scared of?" I hadn't, so I checked it out and finished it in three nights, and the kid in that book needed exactly the kind of adult I was trying not to be. Now I'm the one telling our library team to keep challenged titles on the shelf, and I feel like a hypocrite for the years I spent doing the opposite.

Pastor Dan asking that one question instead of grabbing the book is the whole thing. Tbh most book bans come from people who never finished the book.
