One of the headline today was Missouri defunding all libraries, not just for kids. Not just schools.

I'd recommend following up and looking into it yourself. News is more about agenda than news anymore. Both sides.

Just read up on it... "Since it was first enacted in August, librarians and other educators have faced misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail or a $2,000 fine for giving students access to books the state has deemed sexually explicit. The Missouri law defined explicit sexual material as images “showing human masturbation, deviate sexual intercourse,” “sexual intercourse, direct physical stimulation of genitals, sadomasochistic abuse,” or showing human genitals." They aren't following the law, so they're shutting down funding
