Why book banning never actually works

Take five minutes to read about the history of book bans and you'll learn something pretty quickly: They tend not to last long, and they tend to arise as the result of one individual or group's discomfort with topics that feel too "modern" or "progressive” for the given time period.

In 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin was such a controversial book that a bookseller in Mobile, Ala., was driven out of town for selling it. In the 1960s, To Kill a Mockingbird first came under attack for being "immoral" and "improper for children." Oh, and not to mention the Harry Potter series, which continues to be one of the most challenged set of books year after year, thanks to its "witchcraft, occult, and anti-family themes.”

If you're looking for a lesson from history, it might be this: Book bans don't tend to stick, and they certainly don't succeed in burying any given book. If anything, they often highlight a book well beyond its notoriety prior to the controversy. Gender Queer, for example, has seen a “skyrocketing" of sales following the efforts by certain groups to ban the book, NBC reports.
