It’s really sad this whole ordeal is happening in my neck of the woods. I watched one of the city council meeting where books being banned was being debated and the only person really making the case to ban them was a suited up guy from out of town.

It’s all Astro turf and bs for conservatives to latch on. Good people are fighting though so I have faith.
