I know Florida, Texas, and other counties have tried and succeeded to ban books, I wonder how that is even legal since we have the first amendment. I tried doing research on this since Huntington Beach is banning books and people were petitioning against that at the main library.
I made a little post asking people to petition on the Orange County sub.
Isn’t that kind of the problem, though? A private organization can certainly censor themselves as they see fit, but the US government should not, no?
There’s a limited amount of space for books in schools and public libraries, so they have to make some decisions what to have in them and what not.
Also I think this is mostly being done by state governments, not the US (federal) government.
