Llano County, Texas, is threatening to shut down its entire public library system rather than bring back banned books after a judge ordered them to do so. NBC’s Aaron Gilchrist has more on the culture war of these books ahead of a special meeting that will decide whether to close down the county’s libraries.

Anti-library = anti-democracy.
My grandmother used the phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” I think this is what she was talking about.
I vaguely remember something similar happening in Europe around the 1940s led by a relatively small group with a peculiar symbol…
This is sure democratic… People who promote book banning and burning should be ineligible for office in a Democracy.
I'm surprised the creationists aren't trying to ban books on evolution in Texas.
Llano, pronounced yano.
the stronger these parents try to control their kids, the more extreme rebellion these kids will have when they get to that age.
They want you stupid
SAVE OUR CHILDREN FROM THE LMNOPQ CULT
Oh so
That's why the alpha woke commonityy
Always try to get people fired or cancelled because someone doesn't agree with them and didn't want to pronounce their madeup characters,
Now they want to control and manipulate other people's kids into their fairytale, and parents won't have it.
You want to play make believe then happily play, but don't enforce your ideologies on others.
To quote a great movie: 'You should try reading books, instead of burning them'*
*Or in this case banning them.
The library’s will be back when the old geezers in office finally kick the bucket…
How many people/kids actually use that library….or does the library have tiktok and fortnite too?
Republicans have no policy decisions except over-extending the arm of the state and busy bodies into people's lives by putting bounties on them travelling to another state with more freedoms, banning books and censoring teachers.
Ignorance is bliss
That's 'Merica for ya.
One step forward, . . . two steps back.
😂
Based on the content these books that are being banned contain , the holy bible would be included .
They did this with pools too the daft a**hats what a bunch of malarkey
This republicans they getting dumber by the minute!!
🤔
Years ago adults had the morals to never print a book that was not good for a kid and we never had this problem ,but thanks to the modern day democrat party them days are gone
The U.S. isn't as free as they want us to believe, we aren't even in the top 10.
LGBTQ ideology has no place in children's books
Another example of Republicans causing problems for the rest of us!!!
Sponge Bob was right!!
This isn't a "National conversation" you wimps, this is Fascism rearing its Trump cult head!!!
Uhhh… nobody's heard of the internet on your phone in Texas?
Yes you know they will shut the library down. BTW everyone should read Caste by Isabelle Wilkerson amazing book.
Little by little then all at once. Ignorance is bliss
It's a library not a school?
A library is "public". A school I can understand majority vs. other views. But libraries are important they contain an impartial view for all groups. keep your libraries that way if you don't then we might as well start implementing the teaching of early America book bans and Hitler notions because that is where we are heading both in overly-conservative and overly-liberal views.
Keep your libraries impartial.
most libraries are full of hobos surfing adult material on the computers and youths on school field trips. shut it down.
Where all GOP/GQP think alike, not one of them thinks very much.
Why can't you put the books behind the counter for parental consent? It solves the problem.
It’s not like they read anyways
keep the populace ignorant – easier to fool them…
Nice jobs Republicans for turning our country into China and nice jobs Democrats for supporting ped0phelia and supporting trans rights with no concrete science to back the cr-p up.
neither libraries nor schools ought to be publicly funded or managed. only trouble.
Oh wow
