Va. to take the GUNS, Missouri gonna take your BOOKS!& JAIL LIBRARIANS!!
Bill would allow review boards to censor books, fine or imprison librarians who violate the law

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 15, 2020
(New York, NY) – A bill proposed in Missouri this month represents a transparent, shameful attempt to legalize book banning in public libraries within the state, PEN America said today.

The bill — the Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act or House Bill 2044 — aims to add several provisions to the state’s funding law for public libraries. These new provisions establish “parental library review boards” that would evaluate whether any library materials constitute “age-inappropriate sexual material.” Members of these five-member boards, who would be elected at a town meeting by a simple majority of voters, are empowered to determine whether material is appropriate, including by evaluating its literary merit.

Missouri has a great Idea! I support it! Missouri also wants every adult to have a Tax deductible AR 15. I support that as well.

Directed at books promoting fagggotry to children. Too bad it has to be worded the way it is. Otherwise it would be struck down as discriminatory.

Quit exaggerating OP. It says nothing about coming for your books. The material in question shouldn't be available for children anyway.

It's called morality and ethics.

Are parents not monitoring what their children check out of the public library? This is a very dangerous path.

Books promoting perversion and sexual degeneracy should be banned from public libraries, where children could potentially see them.

Good for Missouri, they're doing the right thing!

I'm a Missourian and our state does it right, unlike our neighbors to the east.
