NEW: ALA reaffirms our opposition to HR 7661, misguided federal book banning legislation in the House of Representatives. At a committee hearing on the bill today, @repbonamici.bsky.social read our statement emphasizing that "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading."

My thing it's like setting fires all over the place to distract from some bigger crime. The fires are still destructive and great resources will be spent putting them out. But don't let them get away with the bigger crime.
