Seems pretty slippery to "curate" a collection to never include any mention of homosexuality except as a mortal sin. Or to curate away historical texts that happen to mention that chattel slavery was real and also bad.



Curiously they also didn't include any books glorifying national socialism. Surely those books need to be in their too.

Obviously the curation is ideological. All curation has to have a framework of ideas. The alternative is randomly buying book.
