When it's entirely politically motivated, there is.
>No sane person would object from banning literal hardcore pornography from school libraries. I
Conflating Desantis culture war nonsense with actual pornography is a bad faith argument.
>ndividual parents, of course, are free to disagree, and they can show their children whatever they want. However, the whole point of democracy is that the elected officials have mandate on behalf of the majority of the voters to exercise control over state institutions. If voters do not like what DeSantis is doing, they can vote in his opponent during next election.
If Florida was still a democracy, I might agree with you. Desantis voter disenfranchisement and voter suppression programs have effectively ended that.
- xyzzyz 4y ago> When it's entirely politically motivated, there is. Banning books glorifying Nazism is also very much politically motivated. Do you think it would be wrong? Anyway, doing politically motivated things is the whole point of democracy. The entire idea of it is that we elect the government to do things on our behalf. It is absurd to suggest that government shouldn’t take “politically motivated” actions: that’s what we elect them to do. > If Florida was still a democracy, I might agree with you. Desantis voter disenfranchisement and voter suppression programs have effectively ended that. Please stop with the election denialism. Yeah, DeSantis totally stole the election, man.
