"Book banning" isn't actually banning books in America because the 1st Amendment's protection of the freedom of speech prevents any and all book bans. Instead, "book bannong" is a grossly exaggerated phrase used by a small fraction of people, usually of a liberal persuasion, who wish to incite fearmongering among the populace, usually over books the fearmongers support that are very inappropriate for the age groups they are intended for, specifically regarding graphically sexual material. Removing or restricting children's access to these books, even if merely requiring parental notification and consent for their children to read the books, comes nowhere near the idea behind actual book banning.
"Boy, I gotta tell ya. Conservative Christians don't want middle schoolers reading a book in class describing two boys sucking each other's dicks. Those fundies sure love book banning."

Get the bookmug. the book of mormon is a mormon scripture claiming to be documents of jesus christ visiting the americas. the only branch of christianity to use the book of mormon as scripture is mormonism or “the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.”
despite a fair amount of archaeological evidence that may support events occurring in the bible, there is no archaeological evidence of any event in the book of mormon. this is substantial because of the descriptions of large cities and huge battles in the book of mormon– any events of such magnitude would leave a very clear impression upon the land. of which evidence there is none backed by real scholars, in contrast to some archaeological sites matching descriptions in the bible, of which some events are accepted by both christian and non-christian scholars.
as well as lack of archaeological evidence, theres a stark lack of any DNA evidence to support the basic premise of the book of mormon. the book of mormon claims that indigenous people of the americas came from the middle east by way of boat. following this, as technology improved, scientists found much closer matches to asia, concluding that indigenous americans came to the americas by traveling over the frozen waters of the bering strait. this is the most widely accepted explanation within the field of science.
while still a piece of scripture to many, there has been no evidence accepted by the scientific community evidence to support these happenings.

Person 1: “Dude, did you know mormons believe native americans came from the middle east?”
Person 2:”What? They can’t possibly believe that, are you sure they really do?
Person 3:”Yeah, man, it says it in the book of mormon and everything!”
