what's the chances they'll ban books like Fahrenheit 451, a very ironic ban

“Current community standards” in AR would have continued slavery, denied any constitutional rights to women, minorities and children and generally abused any person not in power. SO NO THANK YOU!

Wouldn’t this ban many parts of the bible? Like Ezekiel 23:20, for example.

1st, too many parents these days don't want to actually parent. 2nd, obscene & inappropriate are relative terms.

Anytime a politician tells you they care about children, think about how many children vote for them, that’s about how much they care

So does this mean the bible won’t be sold to children? It’s full of sexual content and lacks scientific values.

tbh the Bible is in the group for obscene content. I state this as a questioning Christian. also it's parents jobs to protect kids.

They do realise that the bible is full of things that would be considered not age appropriate for children, right?
