censorship is censorship regardless of age.
Who gets to decide what is obscene? Lets make it simple. If a parent doesn't want their kids reading a specific book then it is up to them to police their child in the public library.
Age appropriate? again who gets to decide at what age every single child has the maturirty and reading skills to read a specific book? Is it thegovernments responsibility to parent a child or their parents. This is why libraries offer a wide variety of books.
Conservatives love to throw around the term "parents rights". Yeah, they are all for that until anothe parent might make a decision concerning their child that differs from the decision they would make.
My father was a conservative career military officer from rural Oklahoma. There was not a liberal bone in his body. He would be appalled at the idea of legislation like this. He was a lifeliong reader who taught his children to be lifelong readers. At no time in our lives was any book restricted
