Judge orders books removed from Texas public libraries due to LGBTQ and racial content must be returned

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Seven residents sued county officials in April 2022, claiming their First and 14th Amendment rights were violated when books deemed inappropriate by some people in the community and Republican lawmakers were removed from public libraries or access was restricted.

The lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas in San Antonio claimed county officials removed books from the shelves of the three-branch public library system “because they disagree with the ideas within them” and terminated access to thousands of digital books because they could not ban two specific titles.

[…]

The library system also is required to reflect these books as available in their catalog and cannot remove any books for any reason while the case is ongoing, US District Judge Robert Pitman said in his order.

“Although libraries are afforded great discretion for their selection and acquisition decisions, the First Amendment prohibits the removal of books from libraries based on either viewpoint or content discrimination,” Pitman said.’

Very good.

This is a victory for the First Amendment and the right to freedom of expression; it is a defeat for neo-fascist authoritarianism.

so your autobiography is back in public schools eh ?

Without knowing the specifics of the books, I don’t know if their removal from public library shelves was appropriate. That being the case, I don’t mind a judge erring on the side of the First Amendment.

The analysis differs when we discuss what material is allowed to be in school libraries.

The Constitution was written for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other.
John Adams

There is nothing in the Constitution that confers a right to debauch children. The people that the Constitution was written for would not need to be prevented from using the children as sexual deviants. Those people would be morally and religiously prohibited from such child abuse. The Constitution is simply inadequate to govern today.

Brown shirts and Swastikas.

What ever it takes. Quite possibly that's the way the Germans felt when they were sickened over the excesses and open homosexuality of the Weimar. Hitler came along and said "I will end that and give you your children back." No matter how crazed he was, how monstrous he was otherwise he did away with the grip deviants had on Germany's children.

Let us do away with the first amendment, then.

It is the only way that only "moral and Religious" people will prevail in this country, by force, and by autocratic means.

Until then, the First Amendment is still the FIRST AMENDMENT for the most obvious reason, and will continue to be the first, for the most obvious reason.
