To be clear they are making some noise about how Utah's book banning laws should be expanded to include mini free "take a book/leave a book" libraries set up on private property. There is no way a law like that would be upheld in court.

I think the sad part is that any of this even exists at all. If you don't like a book, don't read it. That's all...no need to ban anything just because it offends your fragile ego.

Isn’t Utah the one where they banned their own religious texts? Hurt itself in confusion.

Their god is so weak that he needs humans to…checks notes…stop people from sharing ideas.
