MY TURN: Putting minors in harm's way

Is the CLN board banning books from our public libraries? No. Books are being challenged all over our state, but a challenge is not a book ban. A challenge occurs when a parent or guardian exercises their right of free speech and petition. A challenge triggers a review, and IF the review committee deems the content meets the legal definition of “harmful for minors,” then according to our state legislature, the book must be moved to a place in the library where it is no longer being marketed to minors. It is not banned, it is just moved to protect minors.
