How about a ban on mass book burning in general? In the US there have been several mass burnings of LGBTQIA+ books, books featuring strong minority characters, and textbooks that actually include depictions of reality. I know we can't ban all book burning in the US due to the First Amendment, but mass burning is not about expression, it is about suppression.
