What an incredibly European headline.
This is why I love America, the first amendment is dope.
Edit: It's hilarious to see the usual Lemmy leftists spazzing out in the replies. A lot of them is just them being made about grooming being banned in certain contexts, but the only thing they're materially wrong is about the general state of physical displays in America as a whole. The local policies of Florida for example aren't nationalized, they're locally specific to the state of Florida exclusively.
Meanwhile the US bans books for being too sexual
The US doesn't ban shit, individuals hand down mandates to public institutions that then tell them to go fuck themselves.
Not paying attention to anything happening right now, are you?
Oh, I am well aware that people in the US are banning books. There's a culture war against libraries... but the US, as an institution, doesn't ban anything. Saying otherwise is disinformation at its finest.
The US is a collection of institutions. If you go back to 1980 and find that every single individual republic of the Soviet Union is censoring The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (wild and nonsensical example), except for Latvia, you should still say that the USSR is censoring The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
In schools. There is such thing as curated material for children. You can call it ban, but do you want, for example, pornography available to anyone in elementary school library? Or Mein Kampf?
Public libraries are different thing. No books are banned there.
*Mein Kampf
Thanks, corrected.
