@washingtonpost: A federal judge in Arkansas temporarily blocked a state law that would have made it a crime for librarians and booksellers to give minors materials deemed “harmful” to them — a move celebrated by free-speech advocates, who had decried the law as a violation of individual liberties.
Well looks like my family is switching from moonshining to book running… or just diversifying 👀

“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!

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.
