Honestly? Good. This feels very much like a fuck around and find out moment. I’m against book bans in general, but if lawmakers are pushing an agenda with them then I’m glad it bites them in the ass.

Have any of the people quoted in the article arguing that the law shouldn’t apply to the Bible actually read the Bible? Because it doesn’t sound like it. It has more violence, sex, and drinking than a lot of books that typically get banned.

This is my favorite part: “After all, it is the book of wisdom. It is the bestselling book of all time; it is historically accurate, scientifically sound, and most importantly, life-changing”

> The Bible is not educationally unsuitable, sexually explicit, or pervasively vulgar, making its removal legally and morally indefensible.
Clearly he’s never read *A Clockwork Orange*, or probably the Bible for that matter.
The thing that really sucks is they’re going after books that help children by depicting difficult topics like sex and bigotry. I’m sure Judy Blume is be shuffled out the door along with the horny YA. And the kids that *really* need these books are probably dealing with unsupportive parents or religious bigotry. They need these books available at their schools.

If this stands, would there be precedent to force them to remove it in every district in the state? God that would be hilarious.
