1933 Nazi Book Burning Redux

Youngkin ad advocates banning Toni Morrison books citing "parental rights",

"I politely say 'fuck em".

Trumpster dump on 1st amendment rights when fearful of truth.

2nd amendment advocates...."strap on your six shooters and blast away".....

They state 2nd amendment rights will not be abridged.

Spock would say illogical, I say return to my "polite comment".

Don't you know what your children are reading? Don't take them to the library if it has books that offend you. Don't buy them.
Don't buy a tv, don't listen to the radio, if it offends your parental sensibilities.

If you remove a book for parental rights, you have certainly violated the parental rights of a parent who is not offended.

As usual this is not about parental rights, this is about the christofascist "freedom" to impose christianity and a theocracy on the US.
