It's really sad they have to be threatened with fines and prison rather than just taking the books out because of what they are. How has morality declined so much in the past few years?
Grooming children and providing sexually explicit material is still illegal everywhere, are these states the only ones that follow our laws and will actually allow charges?
Montana has just BANNED minors from attending sexualized shows on public property as well as drag queen story time in public schools and libraries
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed the bill HB359 into law today

member Rep. Braxton Mitchell into law that bans minors from attending sexualized shows on public property and bans drag queen story hours in schools and libraries that receive taxpayer dollars.
As a based public library director, this is a dangerous precedent to set though. I think transparency is important, but to push it to fines and prison time isn't the way. It's dangerous. I agree kids should not be exposed to these things, but providing transparency for the parents would have been a better first step. Just my two cents.
I know there is an agenda. My point is transparency should be th extent of it. There is a collection development policy that all libraries should have and a process for challenging books. You need accountability but I think prison time is a bit extreme.
How do books sneak in there? When do parents know what books are being considered? When does the challenge occur? No one has been put in jail yet, but that they can be may produce enough fear and accountability that they police themselves.
Right now they feel like victims, and they are righteous in sneaking in grooming books to young children. Parents are the enemy in their eyes. What right do they have to curtail what we are doing? They are used to going underneath the radar.
It's called purchase orders, catalogs and similar. Sure, some will continue to try to push the envelope. However, I still don't think prison threats are a good idea. When the pendulum swings the other way, then what? Censorship to this degree is a dangerous precedent. That's all my point is. Personally and professionally I am against these degenerate types of materials. However, there are concerns about strict parameters.

Thanks for the info.
Indiana gets something right once in a blue moon. Glad this was it.
That's because of the RINO Globalist that has to keep up appearances. Indianapolis is the biggest Blue in all of Indiana.

There is a grooming agenda and they are not transparent with the parents. They are not accountable to anyone and they fear very little.
