Indiana Senate passes book banning bill

[Vosem]

This seems like an uncommonly silly law, but...removing books from libraries isn't banning them. It's easy for me to think of books that I don't want the government exposing people to (one no one here will dispute might be The Turner Diaries), and it's easy for me to think of books that I think everyone should read that still obviously have no place in any sort of school library (PiHKAL comes to mind). Nor is removing a book from a curriculum equivalent to 'banning' it -- there are more books that should be read than there are hours in which to read them. Considering the reality of many students struggling with literacy, there has to be some level of economizing.

Anyway I don't support this but I also don't think it's any kind of outrage.
