I can never understand this shit. Basically seems like they want to just plain outlaw homelessness but know they can't word it that way (yet...). So they make it impossible for homeless people to live, and do all they can to make laws homeless will have to either break or obey by going off and dying in the woods. I guess jail and prison time is one way to home the homeless...

Georgia lawmakers eye allowing criminal charges against school librarians over sexual content of books

Source: CBS News/AP

February 21, 2024 / 6:21 AM EST
A proposal that would require school libraries to notify parents of every book their child checks out was advanced by Georgia state senators Tuesday, while a proposal to subject school librarians to criminal charges for distributing material containing obscenity waits in the wings.

The measures are part of a broad and continuing push by Republicans in many states to root out what they see as inappropriate material from schools and libraries, saying books and electronic materials are corrupting children.

Opponents say it's a campaign of censorship meant to block children's freedom to learn, while scaring teachers and librarians into silence for fear of losing their jobs or worse.

Georgia senators are also considering bills to force all public and school libraries in the state to cut ties with the American Library Association and to restrict school libraries' ability to hold or acquire any works that depict sexual intercourse or sexual arousal. Neither measure has advanced out of committee ahead of a deadline next week for bills to pass out of their originating chamber.

Honestly, this needs to be broadcasted as a political ad. Everywhere, until Election Day. Show Americans how fucked Trumpers are.

(Side comment: Republicans...at the Gaylord resort. Ironic)
