Frankly, this sort of thing could be handled fairly easily by showing a bit of common sense. Stick "inappropriate" material in a room that under aged kids can only enter with parents permission. There, problem solved. If parents want their kids to read the stuff, they can. If parents don't want their kids to read the stuff, they can't. But of course, everyone wants to force their personal choice on everyone else. |

Going by the news stories, what Ben Baker was upset about was not books but programming since some libraries in the state either held or supported Drag Queen Story Hour events. To quote from an article in the Library Journal, "However, Baker has insisted that the bill is not meant to censor material. In several interviews with local news outlets, he stated that his issues are not about library materials, but programming—specifically, Drag Queen Story Hour, which has prompted both anger and support across the country. “I’m trying to figure out a way for parents to have recourse if…the library board is saying 'Hey, we're OK with this' or even promoting it, which has happened,” Baker told the Springfield News-Leader." |

That's probably a feature to these clowns.
(And a bug to most other people) |

But it's easer to hide them and demonize folks instead of dealing with their concerns. Wait a while until they start losing funding support. |

If the Library Journal failed to included those two words, then count me in the group that says they did it deliberately in order create sympathy for their point of view. They're to be condemned for their deceit. |

What say you, Rep Baker? Deal? If you don't want your kids exposed to sex until they're adults, then I don't want my grandkids exposed to religion until they're adults. |
