Are they banning the Bible for sexually explicit content and violence?
Of course not, they learned from another state (Utah I think) that didn’t make an exception for the Bible.
2024 and we still have book bans
Well, we still have conservatives, so we still have oppression. One day, maybe we won’t have conservatives. Then, we won’t have oppression.
law requiring all reading be ‘developmentally appropriate’
I hate that I have to keep saying this, even to some people on Lemmy.
There are people who go to graduate school to get a degree which includes instruction on finding developmentally appropriate books for children. They spend a whole lot of money on their educations to do this as a profession.
They’re called librarians.
If librarians can’t be trusted like they suggest, they should call for an end to the job as an educated profession. Weirdly, they never do. I’ve never seen Moms for Liberty demand that the University of Illinois stop offering its library science degree.
If they were really serious about this issue, they’d tackle the problem of schools not getting the funding to hire people with library science degrees and going with someone with an education degree who they can pay less.
