Florida to Supreme Court: Let us regulate social networks as common carriers

There are books public schools or public libraries may not carry, not bans..

Germany making pro Nazi rhetoric illegal no matter where is a ban (one I can agree with)

Florida making sure their Public money is not spent on this is not a ban. You can still own and publish these books in Florida. Or have them in a privately owned library or at a private university or school.

Let's stop hyperbolizing. It is actually totally reasonable to censor books in libraries targeted towards children. Not doing so is unreasonable.

If I donate a book that is banned, the school library will not accept it.

That is a ban.

It costs money to keep a book.

And lending a book is a positive action. If you gave the library your playboy collection should they keep it? Why or why not? Clearly, it is important to have standards for school libraries. There are other books that elementary school libraries should not contain. For example, mein kampf should be maybe available to higher-grade high-schoolers. Certainly not children. My school library growing up would not lend books marked for older grades to younger ones without permission. This is the same thing.
