Oklahoma lawmaker introduces book-banning bill with $10k-a-day penalty

This doesn't seem like a very well written article. It initially states: > Oklahoma state law would allow parents to seek up to $10,000 for each day Then later: > The bill goes on to state that the complaining parent "may seek monetary damages including a minimum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per day So which is it?

Should have a 10k/day penalty for censorship of any kind.

This reminds me of the Simpsons headline: Old Man Yells at Clouds.

Why do lawmakers try to get bills through the legislature when these bills are against the constitution?

  > Why do lawmakers try to get bills through the legislature when these bills are against the constitution? The real question is: why do political factions like to throw grenades that will just get thrown back at them?

    > The real question is: why do political factions like to throw grenades that will just get thrown back at them? They don't. The faction throwing these particular grenades has strong confidence that structural overrepresentation, gerrymandering, control of the courts, and other factors create a power asymmetry preventing the grenades from being thrown back at them with similar effect.

    Way to take a way more complicated situation and pretend it’s simple cut and dry.

      Between banning books and firearms, and the unconstitutionality… which of the two is the enumerated right that ends with shall not be infringed? TO THE TOPIC… it isn’t making something too simple at all. In fact, I never stated my thoughts on an overview. Just that if you want to argue “who can possibly support Thea things” change the topic to something even more protected and look in the mirror.
