This is sooooooo disingenuous. No one is ‘banning’ books. Parents simply don’t want their children exposed to grooming and pornography. Parents who want to expose their children to groomer material can go to the bookstore or buy it off Amazon. See how easy that is!
Since no library can buy every book, choices will have to be made. The only question is who makes the choices? No 1st Amendment involved at all.
