My heart aches for the children who will no longer have access to their local library because some arrogant assholes decided to be offended by books with new ideas and different perspectives.
@wellschmaltz@dbsalk@bookstodon Yeah, they want small government until it’s time to tell someone else what to do/think/believe, then they want the most intrusive government imaginable. They want parental responsibility when it’s something like a 13-year-old rape victim being forced to bear, care for, and support her rapist’s baby, but won’t allow adult women to be responsible for their own bodies and healthcare. Want me to go on?
That's why book bans are so stupid. Every kid with a smart phone has ready access to content much worse than the most scandalous book available for checkout at the local public library. It's so performative.
