But the claims of banning, burning , are nonsense.
I get the argument you are offering, but I pose another one.
Aren't the displays already regulated, and what are the standards, and same as you asked, who is regulating those standards. It is going on today, so what are they?
Not an attack, just saying the standards are currently a mess and need clarity. And agree, before you say it, that nonexistent language cannot be replaced with sloppy language as a cure.
What would you propose, to ensure displays are fair to all. Not to exclude one side or the other, end ensure there is fair representation?
Laws like this are actually the antithesis of conservatism and Republicanism which has always advocated for small government, fewer regulations, keeping the government close to the people. I don't want bureaucrats in Columbus decideing what my public library can carry or display.
For the most part libraries do a pretty good job of keeping it balanced. It is the overreaction of people that is the problem. No one's kid will become gay because they see a book titile or a photo of a same sex couple.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
