The bill is here malegislature.gov/Bills/194/HD..., and is proposing to elimate the last sentence of this law malegislature.gov/Laws/General..., which protects librarians and educators. The group behind is your typical “we must protect the children” book banners. 🧵

Please write or call your reps and oppose this. If parents don’t want their kids reading certain materials, then they need to be responsible for their kids; not librarians and teachers. We’re just trying to do our damn jobs, not go to jail because a kid checked out a book their adults dislike. 3/3
