24. Not book burning, just not giving preferential treatment
by giving the book an extra promotion and prominent display.

We have every right to tell booksellers that we will shop elsewhere if they are going to stick really offensive, divisive books right in our faces. There's no reason why they can't simply stock the book in the politics section normally. That accords Mann her free speech rights, avoids giving her unfair promotion, and avoids offending people.
