Getting rid of school libraries is horrible. Every kid should have not only that access to books, but also a place to do their homework, access the internet, get research help

[@frankm.2850]

Even worse is turning those spaces into "disciplinary centers." Why do you need a specific spot in the school, set aside as a dedicated place for detention (I'm assuming thats what it is.) Seriously, why do people live in Republican controlled states? These places are such backwards shitholes.

[@kav4137]

[@Draggonny]

It seems symbolic that they're prioritising punishment and control over self guided study in schools. I went to a pretty rough school, and the exclusion room was tiny. Much smaller than a classroom. Much smaller than the library. It wasn't supposed to have a classrooms worth of kids in it at any one time. You could maybe fit 5% of the students in it. Because there aren't many kids that are so much of a problem that they have to be physically separated from the other students.

Hey Phil, Arkansan here living in a county one of the book bans happened in (mentioned in the article). My roommates mom was the head librian at the public libary. An employee set up a feature near the front containing books that were LGBTQ+ positive and didn't contain any graphic material. But that made some doctors in the city over upset and they petitioned the county to remove it. Many people I know went to fight it and even had some viral tiktoks about it but nothing could be done to convince the conservatives in power. My roommates mom ended up resigning by "suggestion" and was even social ostracized from her church. It's been an eye opening experience for some around here but unfortunately the very large majority don't care becuase of their mindsets. It's truly a shame.

Books took me away from my childhood life, full of abuse. Books kept me out of trouble as a teenager when everyone around me was joining gangs, dropping out of school, and ending up in juvi and later jail/prison. Books gave me a thirst for knowledge that I still pursue today. And they helped me learn English. Books possibly saved my life. To take that away from other kids is inhumane. My heart hurts for those kids.

[@thepsychomagus]

well the Left are making some pretty X-rated and R-rated books specifically geared towards young kids. however a lot wont admit that or will explain why kids have to be shown this material. they act like the Right is in some conspiracy against books. when the Left is literally rewriting books they deem have inappropriate words.

Yea you don't get to traumatize an innocent family and then just walk away saying "sorry our mistake" and leave it at that. If a random citizen pulled a gun on innocent people they would get some kind of charges but because they are cops they get to wave guns in anyone's face without consequences? I would hope that's not how they handle situations like that. At the very least they should be paying for therapy because that would 100% be traumatic especially for a child. Also even if it was the right car, was it really necessary to point a gun at a child? I doubt a 6th grader would be considered an accomplice in a car theft and would need a gun pointed at them.

[@mekellew]

There was legislation to cut tons of funding at our local library because "they had an excessive budget" but we all know it's because a group of good old boys and mom's for liberty were on the warpath after they had a drag queen reading hour and put up a pride display of queer friendly books. 🙃

[@nightlyghtgames]

This Houston district thing, removing books really gets me. I came from a really religious but poor family. The only way I got to escape and also get information that I otherwise would have been ignorant to, was through books. I didn’t have the money to buy books, and you usually won’t have the gas to go to the public library all the time. “Oh, you have the internet” How do you afford a phone when you can’t even put food on a table? How do you afford PCs in your house when you struggle to pay a light bill? Without books, a lot of people in poverty have no other way to educate themselves, especially the kiddos. They’re hitting a lot of poverty stricken schools with this new change, and I know it’s way more about keeping those kiddos uneducated than it is about discipline. I live in Houston btw.

@@ellaella5537 If we follow what you're saying then the consequence will be that police will be SEVERLY understaffed if one simple spelling mistake can cost you your pay and pension. There's a reason truck drivers for instance don't have to pay for the damages in a collision. If they did, then basically no one would be a truck driver, ever. Because as much as you try to avoid it, we're all humans, humans makes mistakes. Do you think soldiers in war where mistakes are literally the difference between life and death are void of mistakes? No, even though they know everything that's on the line, mistakes still happen. I'd be a different story altogether if the outcome was worse. Or if said mistake was gross negligence. And to add, it was also a one in a million mistake. The chances that it would be the same license plate, same make, same model and same color. The chances of that happening is so extremely small.

Fat Leornard was convicted, but still awaiting sentencing (fun little side note, I was on that ship in the photo, USS Blue Ridge LCC-19, when that scandal was happening and my commanding officer at the time was convicted as part of it). For bail, easy solution that'd stop many states from unreasonably holding people pre-trial is demand that the state owes the citizen for 16 hours pay per day at the federal minimum wage and that must be paid each week (use the 13th amendment to back this law). That's on top of all other services to support the person that must be provide free of charge to the detainee. With that, most states would rather let defendants go on their own recognizance awaiting trial or push for a speedier trial.

It should be pointed out that the State Government of Texas recently took over the Houston "Independent" School District where 28 campuses had their libraries taken away to make room for "disciplinary facilities." Texas also passed a law allowing the state government to rule elections null and void in Houston's county if there were any issues or suspected issues. Houston's county is the largest Democratic county in Texas and home to the largest number of Black Texans. The other counties with Republican majorities don't have this. This from the same state that ordered people be pushed into the Rio Grande which has been lined with razor-wire!!!

I live in Europe and a few years ago I ordered a used book from amazon and it came from a library in Detroit and had a stamp on it with something like "to be discarded" in red. So my theory is that a lot of the books that are getting banned in the U.S. are ending up for sale in other countries

[@Fimbleshanks]

Could be. Though there are a lot of reasons libraries get rid of books, whether it be something like excess supply, too much wear, replacements, updated volumes, lack of self space, donation books they don't have room for, etc. There are also used library books floating around that people basically never returned to the library and ended up selling or donating later down the line. I'm not speaking as a librarian, mind. Just from experience with talking to library staff at used book sales in my area. You have an interesting theory, however.
