2025年7月～26年6月に撤去や閲覧制限の対象となった書籍は1万1982件。保守派団体や共和党の政治家は、暴力や性的な描写、LGBTQなどのテーマの特定の書籍を学区ごとに"禁書"とするよう圧力をかけている。

The worst writing system in the world is Japanese, and it's not close. Even the Japanese know this.
My childhood friend is a Japanese-to-English translator, who's worked in and out of Japan for 50 years and has many stories. He told me about a civil court case in Seattle, in which the attorney asked him how to pronounce a certain Japanese person's name. My friend said, "I don't know." The attorney began to mock his translation skills, and my friend explained that for much of Kanji, you CANNOT know the pronunciation till you hear it spoken.
Oddly enough, the best writing system in the world is just across the sea, in Korea.
In the GIF below, I am showing a short moment in the movie Spirited Away, in which the witch magically removes the second syllable in Chihiro's name. This changes Chihiro's name to "Sen" which of course makes absolutely no sense in any language but Japanese. And frankly, it's insane in Japanese too.
