All these red states are now boasting about how they are withdrawing from the American Library Association. They aren’t just satisfied with banning books, they want to get rid of the places that keep and lend them, too. The Christian Right is on the march.
Carl Sagan once warned us of the “dumbing down” of America. He warned of a time when our “critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...”
That time is upon us. We must do all we can to prevent that darkness from taking hold.

This is among the scariest things the GOP has aspired to do. Removing books and libraries is a mask off attack on the ability for anyone to improve their own situation or rise above the circumstances of their birth. It's about perpetuating ignorance for monetary and political control
