    This is what boggles me about this whole library fiasco. The ones clamoring for book bans likely haven’t set foot near a library after flunking out of high school, much less can read or comprehend words bigger than those found in Dr Seuss books.

    I think I see why they do this even though they’re stupid for doing so. It goes something like this:

    “I don’t read books. Liberals read books. When kids read books they turn into liberals. So the solution to hurting liberals and ‘protecting’ our children is to get rid of books”

    There are dozens of ways this is shortsighted behavior of conservatives, but being shortsighted is very on-brand with conservatives anyway.
