A local Tennessee library board has fired the county’s top librarian for refusing to comply with its vote to move more than 100 LGBTQ books from the children’s to the adult section over claims that they promote “gender confusion.”

Unfortunately, state legislators largely don’t face any consequences for losing in court. The damages are paid by the state, and they get fodder for the “The courts are all liberal deep-staters determined to corrupt the children” propaganda machine that raises money for their next election. Whenever they enact legislation that does pass judicial scrutiny, people start feeling its effects and, shockingly, get pissed about it. Much simpler to just endlessly pass unconstitutional bills that get shot down in court and complain that government doesn’t work and keep the culture war stoked. It’s a great system I really love it here 😑
