So you believe the Trump Administration can censor the NYTIMES, WaPo, Disney (ABC), Comcast (NBC), etc because they are corporations that dont have 1st Amendment rights?

For example, "age appropriateness" is not necessarily an objective standard in today's day and age. There appear to be vastly divergent subjective views on what this means. Hence, this is why this issue gained steam.

The problem is that the professional public librarian may not be trusted by its public employer to decide this if there is controversy and a lack of trust over curated books. So that is why these debates come in.

Regardless of semantics, the criteria ("objective" or otherwise), the curation of books, and who decides on same is the main issue. That's the fight. Some books will be "banned" regardless because it doesn't meet someone's criteria. Within that framework, plenty of debate to be had on choices made.

So my guess is that books like Mein Kampf, Best of Playboy Plamates 2003, and other books are "banned" from children's libraries.
The question becomes what is the criteria for "banning" and who decides for children. Always has been, always will.
As long as you understand it's not legal banning

No books are banned under the traditional understanding of that word. You can buy them on Amazon.
The issue is the fight over whether school libraries can carry certain controversial titles and what age is appropriate for which books.

I'm educating you first and foremost.

Also, I've never thrown a vote away in my life. Every (or almost every) vote I have ever cast was carefully researched and cast with purpose.

Harris was a differently bad candidate. A fraud and a hack who was an empty vessel saying whatever she wanted.
Guess what? You voted for such a candidate; I didn't.

Actually, you just highlighted your own ignorance about how voting works by using the old canard that a vote for z is really a vote for X. No, I'm a conservative. If anything, it's only slightly less ignorant to say a vote for 3rd party is a vote for Harris (since I'm more inclined to be an R)

As for the gender phrase, someone said that Bluesky was censoring it, so I was curious and tested the concept (it was not censored). I even state the purpose in my post.

So here is your first point of ignorance. So let me educate you.
I did a write-in vote. I did not vote for either of the two terrible candidates at the top. And I responded specifically to your comment about third-party voters (which you conveniently omit).
Try harder.
