How do books get banned?
Certainly not because they offend the average person–most persons are passive and don’t really care, or don’t care enough to request the banning.
It looks like, from past episodes, that all it takes is a few (motivated) activists for the banning of some books, or the black-listing of some people.
The great philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell lost his job at the City University of New York owing to a letter by an angry–and stubborn–mother who did not wish to have her daughter in the same room as the fellow with dissolute lifestyle and unruly ideas.
