This is an interesting clip The idea that selling a book deemed "obscene" can be a felony charge, but certain groups also want to arm teachers. Personally, I think the legislatures should have to take a comprehensive assessment on the book (like a student) before banning anything
“I was going over a list of books that are banned in Tennessee [schools] and… the list was really staggering,” says novelist Ann Patchett. “Yet at the same time, we’re not doing anything to keep our children safe from guns… It’s ludicrous and an embarrassment… It’s a crime.”
1st a reminder: correlation is not causation. That said, the opportunities, or lack thereof, afforded to citizens w/o a college degree affect the overall quality of life and in turn, life expectancy. This is why equal access to higher education is a must.
