The Llano County Council wanted to censor books in their library, and when the courts made that difficult, they tried to shut-down their library system, but they backed down after an international outcry.
I would expect them to continue to attempt to censor books and shut down their libraries once attention has shifted elsewhere, because the Talibaptists never give up:
A rural county in Texas will keep its libraries open after leaders considered shutting them down in the wake of a federal judge’s order to replace 17 banned books on their shelves, officials here decided Thursday.
A federal judge in March had ordered Llano County to return books that had been removed from library shelves after complaints from a local conservative group as part of an ongoing First Amendment court case. Most were related to teens, sex education and race, but they also include jokey “fart” books and Maurice Sendak’s classic picture book “In the Night Kitchen.”
On Thursday, the Llano County Commissioners Court discussed — meeting in a private session — whether to “continue or cease operations” of their three libraries, ultimately deciding not to close them.
First, if you are banning a book by Maurice Sendak, you are wrong.
Second, these folks also want history books about slavery and the civil rights protests, because it might hurt their feelings.
F%$# them with Cheney's dick.
Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
