Great story. Of course, I'd imagine Moms for Liberty and the other bookburners are already strategizing a way to exempt the Bible from their own standards as a "unique document of worldwide significance" or some such twaddle.

Yup. I bet you a beer that an exception will be created and it will be both fatuous and patently hypocritical. It will support the local bookburner community and hold up in court. I prefer Negra Modelo or Dos Equis Amber, fyi. No Bud Lite.

Nah, in Texas it'll be like "Because I said so." Fingers in ears "Lalalalalala.." Who gives a crap about what anyone thinks. In Texas thinking will soon be outlawed. If they tell you what to read, they tell you what to think.

Wow, great article! Thank you for sharing this idea - I have forwarded it to my state house representative, my local chapter of the Interfaith Alliance, a friend who often writes guest essays in my local paper, and a bunch of friends.

Just because it worked in Colorado Springs doesn't mean it'll work here in fascist Texas...where causing immigrant deaths is a sport...
