Oh yeah. Banning books that lack any offense and have been a favorite of parents, teachers, and kids everywhere forever. That's what the good guys do.
People have been sending death threats to the authors too. How dare women write about girls and women!
It's so important that the USA fight back against the Christofascists, especially in November.
If I recall correctly, Hitler did something very similar.
Oh look, people cancelling things... let's see all those free speech people talk about it.
Implementation guidelines say that banned materials must be “legally disposed of” and “may not be sold or distributed”.
So, not only will we curtail freedom in a very nazi way, but we have to take a wash on the money spent and contribute to needless waste. Awesome! Let's do that!
I mean, it is the only state in the US that’s openly theocratic.
A fantastic waste of time.
