    So should school libraries just be completely unrestricted then? Anything and everything is on offer, because they might look elsewhere for that content?

    And that could quite literally kill them if they approach the wrong person or get involved with the wrong group in order to sate their curiosity.

    Where the fuck are you browsing books my guy. I started pirating shit in middle school clicking on every “free download” link, and it never got even remotely that sketchy.

      I would trust the discretion of the librarian to filter out books that are low quality or not appropriate. But if enough kids and parents request a book that book should be added to the library because ultimately the librarian/district works for the parents.

      The call should be made at the local level, not by politicians who don’t even live in the district.
