Is the left or the right winning the race to the bottom on censorship?
Once again, I make the distinction between curriculum and books in
school libraries. The former might be subject to complaints of
inappropriateness by parents as it's mandatory. But reading books in
school libraries is optional so leave book selection to profession
librarians and not parents.
That's not the law in Missouri. Librarians can be subject to fines and
imprisonment for sexually explicit material on bookshelves.
A graphic novel adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale was withdrawn due to
one panel depicting a rape. The high school library decided it was in
violation of the law and withdrew it.

Looks like the right is winning. What books are censored on the left?
I've posted an article at least three times in the last month detailing a
whole raft of conservative books censored by the Left. I can't be bothered
to go look it up again for a fourth re-post.
I read them, thank you. You and I have similar opinions on censorship. I
wanted to see if anyone else cared about the issue of censorship by
punishing librarians using the criminal code.
There are laws about providing sexually explicit material to minors.
It's a felony to give a 10-year-old a Jenna Jameson porn DVD and tell
him to go enjoy himself.
I don't see how being a librarian shields you from having to obey those
laws or provides immunity from prosecution for breaking them.
I suppose there'd be some debate about what constitutes 'sexually
explicit' and where that line is, but the books I've seen at the heart
of these controversies, graphic novels showing-- not just describing,
but showing-- minors performing oral and anal gay sex on each other-- is
no different than any hardcore porn movie out there. If those don't
qualify as sexually explicit, I can't imagine what would.
