📚 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?

H.R. 7661 seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for any program, activity, or literature that includes “sexually oriented material” for anyone under 18, targeting trans folks specifically.

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

Agreed. Problem is, logic has nothing to do with this "debate" over #guncontrol (which SHOULD be a no brainer, but doesn't work when you are actually dealing with people who have no brains - or choose not to use theirs).

And then there are the equally illogical (lack of) discussions over #bookbans!
