The nutters are defending this in FL on the basis that school libraries are “a forum for government speech.”
Case law does not seem to agree:
>In legal filings, the plaintiffs extensively point to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1982 decision in Island Trees Union Free School District v. Pico. In that decision, justices ruled that school boards have “significant discretion to determine the content of their school libraries.” But it said that discretion “may not be exercised in a narrowly partisan or political manner.” The case law doesn’t end there: “Every court that has addressed that issue … has rejected the position that libraries — including school libraries — constitute Constitution-free zones in which government officials can freely discriminate based on viewpoint,” plaintiffs write.
However, we live in f*cked up times to say the least…
