We have a serious problem with degeneracy here in Missouri.
Some parents are concerned that their children may be allowed to check out obscene materials from the library, with no interference from librarians. Now there’s a law saying that libraries will lose funding if they can’t certify to the state that they have policies in place that put parents in charge of what their children read and see.
A Post-Dispatch article on June 1 says, “The most likely response from libraries, leaders of the Missouri Library Association say, is to give parents a choice — either allow their child to have a library card, with full access to books and other materials, or monitor the selections in person and check out with the parent's card.”
Doesn’t Missouri have a
two-tiered library card system—one card for minors and one for adults? Other
places do.
In other news, Bud Light, brewed here in St. Louis, showed a commercial with a transgender person promoting the beer. That led to a boycott by a lot of people who think that being transgender is a terrible thing to be or to talk about.
Well, I can help sort this out.
If Missouri doesn’t have a two-tiered library card system, then perhaps the concerned parents can pony up the funding for the equipment needed to implement the system.
And maybe AB InBev (makers of Bud Light) can subsidize the effort as well, to help erase the stigma of depravity assigned to it by other concerned citizens.
Win-win.
