Legislative book ban can’t prevent books from being read

Let’s be honest, the people in Iowa have had it with the book issue. The legislators and the governor have led us down the “Primrose Path.”

It’s anybody’s guess as to how many books have been removed from our schools. Heaven forbid there hasn’t been a book burning, yet. (It’s not in the law-yet)

Let’s hope it’s not too late. There shouldn’t be anything in this book law that says you can’t save them after removal from the shelf. A new day will be coming. Books can be returned to the shelf and life goes back to normal.

The names of all the books removed from the shelves should be published in the media. There is no law that says you can’t buy the book, rent the book, or find it in a library elsewhere.

This Iowa legislative sledgehammer can’t prevent books from being read. Exercise the very right you have and the privilege to read what you want where you want.
