All seriousness aside I think that's the other problem with laws like this:  They are performative while just creating vague descriptions so people will fight over what should be banned or not.  Meanwhile the lawmakers can say they are "fighting for the children".

As I read in the article posted by the OP, all this really does is allow a parent to raise a complaint to the State Literary Board, who will then review the material in question and make a decision. Another section of the bill requires that local boards of library trustees to abide by the decisions handed down by the State Literary Board.
