Imagine thinking that banning books is fine, and then turning around and saying you live in a free country without even a shred of irony.
They bang on about free speech… but apparently not that free…
I wonder just how far down the road they think they’ll get. The ‘little free libraries’ and ebooks, legal or less than, would be near impossible for them to push this show onto.
Information will be free, like it or not the stories will be told and you can’t do a damn thing about it.
Land of the free

It’s getting hot in here. Must be at least 451 degrees!
Anyone know which 17 states? Article doesn’t say, and some of the links aren’t working for me if they’re mentioned in those.
They’re listed on page 2 of the legal filing
Thanks.
And of course my shithole state is one of them. I’ll try to hide my surprise.
Again, fuck all you Republicans, this is your fault
Including the bible, right? Right?
don’t think they’ll stop at gay and anti-racist books. those two are simply easy targets to get started on, since they’ve already got the homophobe/racist vote in the bag. once they succeed in eradicating those books, you can bet your ass they’ll move on to remove anything critical of conservatives, privatized everything, trump, american exceptionalism, christianity (criticisms of all other religions will be protected), and whatever else they feel like, because they can.
once they’re done with libraries, they’ll carry on to the entire publishing industry, stopping books from even going to print before they’re “reviewed” by a censorship board.
and again, if you’re thinking “it could never happen here!” then take a look around you, look at texas, look at the supreme court–it’s been happening for many years
