    We’re comparing China and the USA. That’s the topic.

    There’s a reason Florida currently has thousands of vacancies in teaching positions and is one of the bottom 10 states in terms of education.

    Teachers are still free to do what they want and express their opinions (i.e., staying and risking prison, leaving the state, not working as a teacher, being politically active, teaching outside the classroom).

    Book burning and expressing your opinion are protected rights. It’s absolutely embarrassing that the law exists, but the law will be challenged in court.

    Discourse doesn’t happen in China. If the government wanted, you just go to prison and they throw the key away. That’s if you’re not killed outright. No discussion, no politics, nothing.

    The USA has freedom. China does not.

    EDIT - Ironically, even you and I discussing this online is forbidden in China. You’re not allowed to express your disgust with problems of the Chinese government or state.
