Freedom of speech (in the US) protects book publishing too, or do you think school boards are elected, county and state governments are above the constitution?


How does not stocking a book in a school library due to community complaints or even a state law conflict with the first amendment?


Curation is not the issue. The librarians already selected and purchased the books, the state is forcing the librarians to remove them for political reasons. The state could hire qualified activist librarians who only want politically conservative "approved" books who curate only those books, but I will let you guess why they can't find qualified conservative librarians.

Who said curation was the issue? Where is the assumption that libraries don't have political reasons even coming from? The state handpicks librarians? What is with the implication that there are no "qualified conservative librarians"????

What in the world are you talking about? Why are you spouting a bunch of bigotry that isn't relevant to anything?
