So I guess this means Huckelberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird will be back in Illinois libraries?

And the Bible must be allowed. You cannot block a book based on doctrine, the law says.

Public libraries should be able to have whatever books they choose, it’s school libraries(elementary especially) that shouldn’t be carrying certain books because they’re not age-appropriate. It’s the same reason they don’t show 50 Shades or porn to kids in the classroom but Dems are too busy being dishonest and call them book bans. The only true bans are by Dems who don’t have To Kill a Mockingbird and other books in their libraries due to racial content.
Massie pointed out that the tweet referenced a study from Israel showing that immunity to the COVID-19 virus “due to prior infection is the same as for the Pfizer vaccine.”
Troye doubled down, claiming that Massie’s tweet “was flagged for a reason,” to which the lawmaker retorted:
What's the reason? Is there ever a good reason to censor a member of Congress? This is my official account. This is not a personal account. This is not a campaign account. This is my communication with my constituents. By the way, I bring this up not to claim that members of Congress have more right to free speech than the general public. In fact, I don't even think the press or the media has more rights to the First Amendment than the general public. The general public has the same rights that we have. I bring this up to show, number one, that your testimony is false. But number two, if they can do this to a member of Congress's official account, they can do it to anybody.
And therein lies the crux of the matter. Stanford Internet Observatory, along with a slew of other organizations, is being funded with taxpayer dollars to help social media companies censor content that contradicts the government’s line on the coronavirus and other issues. This problem came to light in full force when Elon Musk decided to release inside information showing how the company operated before he took over. //

If it was a study, as in real science, done in Israel and peer reviewed, why would it be censored as "disinformation" no matter how much it contradicted what TPTB would prefer us to believe? Science isn't always on the same page with itself and with political necessity. Sometimes, results show things we'd rather they didn't, but that's how we eventually arrive at the truth. //

Not all that long ago, we held that we live in the Age of Information. And for a brief period, there was a universal belief this was a good thing. It was probably more accurate to describe it as the Age of Decentralization of Information, and we were all relatively pleased with it. Even the elite were dancing in celebration.
But, this really upset the apple cart for those that hold truth subordinate to power.
These times of attempting to re-centralize information by these psychopathic control freaks will eventually be labeled the Age of Absurdity.
