For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:

As has anyone else who has ever been on the book banning / burning bandwagon.
"small government" wants to control what you can and can't read.
if they are banned in either three districts
So a few small, rural school districts with the most socially conservative people control what a state of 3M people can read. What a great system.
The Mormons wouldn't want it any other way. Even though less 50% of residents indentify as Mor[m]on, the State legislature is over 80% Mormon. And white. And male.
Huh... This doesn't bode well...
Are you there, god? It's me, government-sanctioned christofascist book banning.
