BREAKING NEWS! The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed the emergency injunction against the Llano County Library Board for removing explicit books from their library.
"First, plaintiffs cannot invoke a right to receive information to challenge a library’s removal of books."
"Take a deep breath, everyone. No one is banning (or burning) books. If a disappointed patron can’t find a book in the library, he can order it online, buy it from a bookstore, or borrow it from a friend. All Llano County has done here is what libraries have been doing for two centuries: decide which books they want in their collections. That is what it means to be a library—to make judgments about which books are worth reading and which are not, which ideas belong on the shelves and which do not.
If you doubt that, next time you visit the library ask the librarian to direct you to the Holocaust Denial Section." 🔥🔥🔥
