There’s a bill before the Oklahoma state legislature that would allow a single individual to demand that a book be taken out of a school library, and if it isn’t removed immediately, the school librarian will be fired, not be allowed to work as a librarian for two years, and the person making the demand will get $10,000 a day until the book is removed.
Pandering to the wingnuts who support him. The gracious overlords in OK, those blessed by The Lord by being born in the top 1% of wealth, know that the masses would be MUCH happier if untroubled by information or facts. And far too many books do, indeed, contain information and facts.
So they’re pretty much modeling an assault on the first amendment on the recent Texas abortion law, exactly as everyone not a compete idiot expected them to do. In the True American Fashion, they’ve decided to outsource governmental oppression to a private, profit-motivated third party.
I’m sure this will end well.
