I can appreciate that they’re in a somewhat difficult position, with the law on one side and what’s morally right on the other side, but also this is exactly the sort of scenario where everyone needs to band together to demonstrate that an unjust law won’t fly, and IMO trying to weasel out of it with a half-measure is just appeasing the wrong side.
In an ideal world all the libraries, schools and publishing companies would just ignore this and carry whatever books they see fit, and give the legislators a choice to either back off or go after them all at the same time.
For the new year, I’m going to try a thing based on a Ray Bradbury quote:
So far I’ve only got half of one 'cause it’s the first week of January, but I’m going to see how far I can get with it.
