📚 Book bans spreading like folks scared of their own children learning empathy. Stories are how we survive. If a novel threatens your worldview, maybe the problem isn’t the novel?

This bill isn't about protecting kids. It's about giving extremists power over what stories belong on library shelves.
Don't put up with it.
