KOSA was not a child safety bill, it was a political (and particularly LGBTQ) harassment and suppression bill lightly masquerading (lightly, because right-wing supporters could not stop gloating about ita utility for that purpose) as a child safety bill that too many on the Democratic side in the Senate willingly went along with because they lack the courage to argue against the thinnest layer of pretextual justification (which is a broader problem than just that bill.)
