Quote du jour

Let’s also be clear about “banning books.” Removing explicit, sexual material from a school library, or simply not buying it in the first place, does not run afoul of the First Amendment. Such books, and similar depictions, are widely available at the click of a mouse. As always, the antidote for bad speech is good speech, never censorship. However, it is well-settled law it is inappropriate, and in some cases illegal, to expose a captive student audience to sexual content and/or political indoctrination. No one, outside of school, is in the least restrained from reading and viewing whatever they please.
