All part of the plan. The less educated the children are, the easier they can be exploited.

Yeah. Keep them kids out of the library. They should be at home on the internet where they will only be exposed to wholesome content.

If I was a librarian, I wouldn't enforce this stupid bullshit.
as a former public librarian, i can tell you there are absolutely boomer losers with nothing to do who will sit there and make sure someone's enforcing it. so fucking glad i work at an academic library now and no one can say shit when i put the gayest books in existence on display
I'd be surprised if any do. I haven't heard of a single librarian that's been in favor of these shenanigans anywhere.

I wonder how much money is spent on paper and ink for the affidavits. And I guess the extra workers, inside and outside of the library, needed to process and file them all.
Hah! You think they actually put in place the infrastructure needed to support this asinine policy. If there aren't enough people to get the affidavits signed then those kids can't go expose themselves to dangerous ideas, presumably including "trans people exist" and "slavery was bad, actually".
See also voter ID laws that just happen to come into effect as the DMV offices in poor and/or black neighborhoods close down. If they make it a sufficient pain in the ass they don't have to take the legal or political flak for outright banning it.

This is the stupidest timeline.
The fact that the stupidity is intentional and the desired result is the rub. Stupid, uneducated people are less likely to think critically and more likely to accept and support whatever bullshit ~~the political party behind all this shit~~ Republicans spew out.
Sometimes I think we should just go extinct and be done with this shit.
Oh, don't lose faith in humanity because of this. This is only happening in the US.
