Jurisdictions that are opting to ban books should consider the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 BC - 43 BC: “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?” Voters should question those that want to ban books as a means of gaining power over others.
