Book ban ban lol nice (seriously though this is good with all the red scare 3.0 shit getting pushed right now).

Well fuck they left open an exception for transphobia motivated bans

The bill permits restriction in the case of “developmentally inappropriate material” for certain age groups. The measure also requires local school boards and the governing bodies of public libraries to set up policies for book curation and the removal of library materials, including a way to address concerns over certain items.

Fuck this country

America is one of those countries that just cannot ever get anything 100% right.
