President Biden on Monday said that all Americans must speak up because diversity is being attacked, remarks he made while marking 60 years of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
The event comes just days after a deadly shooting in Jacksonville, Fla., killed three Black Americans, which is suspected to be racially motivated. The president bashed attacks on diversity such as book bans, which are happening in states including Florida and are targeting books about slavery and Black history, among other topics.
“Now is the time for all Americans to speak up when history’s being erased, books are being banned. Did you ever think we’d have this conversation here, at this time?” Biden said in remarks. “Diversity’s being attacked.”
There is quite a jump in quality of information depending on the source, and books generally have a much higher quality. Books are hardly obsolete.
Physical books. If you can get digital copies of the books, banning the physical book is meaningless.

I assume you’re talking about libraries here, and if so this isn’t true. Libraries allow you to check out multiple books at a time within reason.
Which is a good thing because it makes it harder to censor them. This is a security feature, now a flaw. Plus physical books don’t come with DRM.
