The conservative desire to return to the dark ages is astounding.

Isis destroyed museums, monuments and libraries. Republicans will do the same, but with the power of the state veiling it in a legal civil costume.

Honestly, given what I've seen in my local public library's collection and new titles (especially kids books), I'm not really surprised at this trajectory. I am surprised it took this long for a red state to try to do anything about it.
