How are Book Bans Constitutional?
  • This is a school district not renting space at the school to a non-profit that intends to distribute the books. That’s a problem. The same thing happened to the after school Satan club. But framing it as “banning you from owning those books” doesn’t seem honest.

    It’s plenty bad when publicly owned rental space is denied to some renters based on viewpoint discrimination. I hope they win their lawsuit. There’s no need to equate it with police raiding houses to confiscate books and arresting bookstore owners.

  • How are Book Bans Constitutional?
  • They’re not banning you from selling, buying, owning, or reading the book, so it’s not an obvious first amendment issue.

    They’re creating policies for which books various government institutions can use tax money to buy and make available.

    They just happen to be targeting books that recognize the existence of minorities, which is shitty.

  • Reflects all damage
  • I can weld with my eyes shut!

    That is VERY HARD to do!

    But it’s bad for my hat and makes my eyebrows get red hot.

    so…

    welding with my eyes shut I don’t do an awful lot.
