school districts probably. conservatives want public schools to fail, so it’s not great.

Bankrupt the public schools so everybody has to go to charter schools or homeschool.

The trolling part might have some unintended targets unfortunately as part of the bill is

A public school district or public charter school employee
tasked with removing a book from a public school district, public
charter school, or public school library who does not do so within
thirty (30) days of receiving a request shall be dismissed or not
reemployed, subject to the provisions of the Teacher Due Process Act
of 1990, and the employee shall be prohibited from being employed by
a public school district or public charter school for a period of
two (2) years.

Man these clowns take one thing, creating private causes of action, and just go hog wild applying it to every idea they have to get their way

It does mention charter schools in there as well. Which makes sense. They really don’t like public employees and/or unions, but want their book banning to apply to everything under the sun.

It’s annoying/horrifying, but I can’t really blame them when the SCOTUS ruling in the Texas case basically made it seem like these private lawsuits are the “one weird trick to accomplish unconstitutional stuff.”

That’s just good old fashioned, sensible small government right there.

Jr. has that same weird off-balance stance his dad has.

Pretty sure that’s not the weirdest thing in that picture.

School librarians could also totally game this. Get accomplice to request book ban, drag out banning as long as possible (maybe leave a copy on the shelves somewhere, but in the wrong place so others won’t easily find it). Discover it 1 yr later. Lawsuit for $10k/day x 1 yr. Split profit w/ accomplice.

“Just to be clear, I have more than one Black friend,” she said. “I still like her, that’s the truth. And I am still sad that she seemingly doesn’t like me anymore. I don’t want her to know that this is about her.”

She added: “Again, I have more than one Black friend.”
