A ridiculous law since kids have instant access to the internet that's filled with the very subjects these lawmakers object to. Besides, if kids really wanted to read these books, they could do so by joining several out-of-state libraries through Books Unbanned.

Stupidity and bigotry on so many levels.
Next they'll be be burning women that offer cups of tea. Of course perhaps the parents that enact or promote such bans home-school their kids anyway, so they are not contaminated. And choose their library books and don't let the kids have internet (below a certain age maybe these activities should be supervised anyway). Is it something in the water? |

I feel it worth mentioning the Brooklyn Public Library's Books Unbanned program (it accepts donations, too).
