The app for independent voices

I don't disagree that she's doing her job well. My point is that the hairs raise a bit on the back of my neck when she's excluding various political books. Yes, I agree those books are garbage.

I also acknowledge that every book can't make it in and that decisions have to be made. I just worry about similar logic twisted to negative purposes by those all around us. I also worry about the impact on the impressionable when a truthful statement can be made, "You won't find a single book in the library about the 2020 election theft." Said impressionable goes and does their own research and finds that it is true. Confirms that 'they' are trying to suppress the 'truth'.

It is much the same as the concept of not banning the Nazi rally on the town square. It is hateful and repugnant, but it is also political speech; and both letting it be seen for what it is, and not going down the road of suppressing that which we disagree with are important concepts.

“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” - Not Voltaire's exact words, but his presumed sentiment.
