The GOP media has been enjoying the “Biden is bad and so are all the Democrats” message since Afghanistan. They knew the outcome they wanted and they got it.

In cases like this, its just an interpretation of the facts. No one disputes the topic of these books or that these books are in the schools. People will differ on whether or not its actually appropriate for children to read. That isn't some right wing conspiracy

This is what Virginians voted for I guess. I hope it works out for you:

Two board members, Courtland representative Rabih Abuismail and Livingston representative Kirk Twigg, said they would like to see the removed books burned.

“I think we should throw those books in a fire,” Abuismail said, and Twigg said he wants to “see the books before we burn them so we can identify within our community that we are eradicating this bad stuff.”

...

The book, “33 Snowfish” by Adam Rapp, concerns three homeless teenagers attempting to escape from pasts that include sexual abuse, prostitution and drug addiction.

Publisher’s Weekly described “33 Snowfish,” which the American Library Association named a Best Book for Young Adults in 2004, as a “dark tale about three runaways who understand hatred and violence better than love” and noted “readers may have trouble stomaching the language” and the subject matter.
