Censored History is Propaganda | Youth Tee

A bold tee for the kids who ask real questions.

This youth tee features a vintage-comic style illustration: a UFO lifting books into its beam, framed with clear, unapologetic messaging — “Censored History Is Propaganda,” “Book Bans Are Fascist,” and “Dismantle Systems of Oppression.”
It’s visually fun, retro, and instantly readable, but rooted in the truth: censorship isn’t neutral. Controlling access to stories is one of the oldest authoritarian tactics.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, protests, school events, or any kid learning to think critically about the world around them.

About the Artwork
Inspired by mid-century comic book covers, the design uses speculative retro art to comment on a very current issue: the political agenda behind book bans. The UFO “book abduction” visual echoes how authoritarian movements target knowledge first — libraries, archives, and history itself. The message is intentionally direct because the stakes are, too.
Readable up close, subtle from a distance, and unmistakably clear in meaning.

It’s a tee for kids growing up with backbone, curiosity, and the understanding that stories — and access to them — matter.
