Two different animals. Public library can and should have all books. A school library, is under the purview of the elected school board and as such is answerable to the parents of said children. The parents have a right to determine the content of such library. And yes, refusing to allow the school library to carry Goosebumps is stupid. However, the parents still get to determine whether or not the books should be in the school.
Why do only the parents get a say?
I am constantly told (albeit mostly by leftists, but not exclusively) that it is in my, and Society's best interest to have well educated kids coming out of HS ready to be a contributing member of society. I am certainly made to pay for a portion of those school libraries. If it's my interest to see the kids be well educated, and I am [partially] paying for it why do I not get at least equal say as every other taxpayer?
Sure, it's your right to raise your kids as you see fit, with the morals, mores, religions, and what not that you think are important. Until you force me to finance it. Then I get a say. And I say they get to read Hienlein. (all of it. even the later stuff like
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. Good luck with THAT conversation.)
Fistful, all my personal experience in right wing censorship is 25 or so years out of date, and I was young so details are sketchy, but I have seen right wing groups push through laws that made information flat illegal in a small town. (Porn mostly) Since the First amendment and Larry Flint exist, it was mostly done with zoning and creative enforcement of decency laws. But using the power of government to completely ban ideas or expression from an entire community fits, I think, the definition of censorship. Clearly, with the advent of the internet that is much more difficult to do.
The movie stinks compared to the book.
As close to a universal truism as exists.
