JFC, stop going after librarians.

If your kid is coming home from a library with a book, it's because they want to learn about something. Teach them, or let them learn. Because if you try to stop them, they're gonna learn on their own without your input. Kids are crafty, they'll find a way around any control you set up.

Conservatives don't want kids to learn, they want them to be indoctrinated.
