The Texas Tribune reports:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wants his office to help defend Llano County officials being sued for restricting and banning books from their public library system. In a court filing, Paxton asked Austin-based federal district court Judge Robert Pitman to let the state intervene in the lawsuit, which was filed by seven Llano County residents.
If Pitman grants the motion, Paxton’s office could aid the county judge, county commissioners and library director in fighting the lawsuit. Books removed from the library include Maurice Sendak’s “In the Night Kitchen” and Susan Campbell Bartoletti’s “They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group”
When given a choice, Republicans show repeatedly, consistently they have no true principles. “Principles” are just a shield or a weapon to achieve the goal of power. They abandon those very same principles the very second it’s useful to do so. Do they care about the First Amendment now? No. Have they ever. Only when it’s ever been convenient to them.
Straight, religious, white people are fragile, delicate little things.
Banning books and promoting guns doesn’t seem like the type of thing a civilized society would do. We are regressing not progressing.

But Republicans fight to the death over defending books that depict racist stereotypes and caricatures. They lost their collective little mind over Dr. Seuss books with clear racist overtones being taken off school shelves. Something anti-racist and educational, though? Suddenly banning books is fine. Patriotic, even.

The publisher announced they would no longer publish one or two Dr. Suess books. I haven’t seen any evidence either book was removed from any library.

This image reminds me of something a friend said recently:
Every Republican argument comes down to “The firefighters are incompetent, vote for the arsonists!”

In a society run by Texan GQPers, all public libraries will have the identical offerings as your local Christian bookstore and church waiting room, as well as the same propaganda as Stormfront.
I’m so tired of the cranky contrarians in the center and left who only see “cancel culture” as happening on college campuses or in civil rights movements. Will they call this out, but will the likes of Bill Maher continue to obsessively condemn trans folks who speak out against Dave Chappelle?

Thank you Nan. I love reading the comments, but it does take time. There are some smart people out there on the left who have a quick wit. The left is lucky that way, if you go to a site that has a lot of right wing commenters and read them, they are angry and threatening, totally full of insults rather than wit. Hugs
