A small independent bookstore in my hometown started stacking banned books in the front window.

“Isn’t that risky?” I asked.

“We already lost two school contracts,” the owner said.

“Worth it?”

“Every kid who finds the right book makes up for it,” he replied.

The place is packed every weekend.

Word spreads about people who draw a line and stick to it.

Because resistance isn’t just brave. It’s good business.
