republicans trying to make everyone else as dumb and hateful as they are.
The Vinton Public Library, which lost two directors in two years amid community complaints over books, is now closed indefinitely as the interim director has left, too.

The previous directors left after city residents complained about the library’s display of LGBTQ books and books about Democratic President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The library board met Tuesday to accept the resignation of Colton Neely, the interim director. Neely, formerly the library’s children’s director, will become a museum curator in Burlington. His last day — and the library’s last day to stay open for now — was Friday.

With another leader leaving, Vinton library closes for now

How can the people actively censoring others lose their minds when Trump gets banned from Twitter for inciting a riot? Free speech only when THEY are speaking. What a myopic and destructive worldview.
 
FFS.

You can choose not to go to the library. Get a Kindle. You can choose not to go to that section. You can choose not to pull a book off the shelf, and you can choose not to read it. Unless I missed something and you have to read a certain book to have access to the library, then these people need to kindly stfu.
 
So far, this kind of thing seems to mostly be happening in small rural towns (not that that makes it okay) but I won't be surprised when this starts becoming more mainstream and starts hitting larger cities. The right is becoming increasingly censorious.

Of course we have all kinds of pro-right-wing and Trump books on the shelves at the public library here in the middle of liberal land and no one cares.

well they are usually not the majority in larger cities so it may not work.
