silveradept: Salem, a woman with white skin and black veining over her body, sits at a table with her hands folded in front of her. Her expression is one of displeasure at what she is seeing or hearing. (Salem Is Displeased)

I would love to see those teenagers taking over as well. I'm a bit concerned that it'll be the Purity Brigade instead, either as the library board or as the legislators and officials.

"Nobody is forcing you to look at it" used to be the standard compromise about having materials in the library that weren't to everyone's taste. Since these states have decided to abandon that as the compromise and start saying that material that merely contains a thing is now unsuitable for anyone, it would be nice if library collections could respond in kind and start removing all the things they've been keeping, even though they found them distasteful.

If libraries are going to start being treated like this, we may as well live down to the reputation and keep what they want gone and get rid of what they want kept, to be the liberal bastion we're accused of being.
