    Landry later drafted a “Protecting Innocence” report on libraries and supported legislation to restrict minors’ access to certain library materials

    Dude read the Bible and tell me if it’d allowed in this context. I say it wouldn’t. As someone with a religious background - mildly so, as I am a lazy fuck - I know that book has depictions that could at least have an impact on a kid’s mind. The book they’d be banning and the librarians they’d threaten with jail time (up to 2 years, according to one of the drafts) are probably offering much milder content than that.

    Secondly: banned books have a charm that can’t be compared. People like to read banned books, especiallu young readers. Minf your actions anyone, we are not in charge of other’s literary choices.

    Edit:

    Lunsford described the American Library Association as a “Marxist” organization out to fundamentally change U.S. society.

    Do the even know what that term means, geese study some more please.
