[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a librarian? If so, join the many other librarians faced with this and publicize the hell out of it; start your own independent non-school library where anyone can read the 11,000 books. You don’t have to read any of them, that’s not the point. Librarians are under attack and yes you should at least fight on this hill. [/quote]

Reading is fundamental. She isn’t removing 11,000 books from her library. Her library CONSISTS of 11,000 books, which she needs to go through to cull certain titles a legislature has decided shouldn’t be there. It’s most likely material in a school deemed inappropriate for children because it deals with issues like transgenderism or sexually explicit material. I don’t agree with it but no one has banned 11,000 books. [/quote]

Or it could be super religious propoganda books that the local libs want removed. This could go either way as Library serves the local residents.
Maybe OP can connect to a diff library in the district to swap books unwanted by their locals? [/quote]

Uh, no, it really couldn’t. “Local libs” are not trying to prevent people from reading religious books. They may trying to prevent people from being forced to partake in religious activities, like prayer, but to voluntarily check out books? Nope.

Authoritarianism is a conservative value, not a liberal one. [/quote]

Exactly. Liberals/Democrats are in favor of preserving rights for others. Conservatives/Republicans are all about restricting peoples rights. Which is kind of ironic, considering they are the ones with the don't tread on me plates. Yes I know that's libertarian, but libertarians seem to Skew conservative. [/quote]

Yes. If the anti-vax people actually cared about bodily autonomy, they’d be pro-choice. If the anti-“CRT” folks actually cared about intellectual freedom, they wouldn’t be banning books left and right.

It’s a desire for control poorly concealed under a thin veneer of freedumb. [/quote]
