The rage moms reading passages from adult novels out of context are just hapless foot soldiers, operating with blind obedience for a nonexistent cause. LIBRARIES as an institution are the target. Book bans are just the tool.

This is potentially a model for other cities and counties: create a problem by banning books, inevitably get sued, and then use the expense of the lawsuits to defund libraries altogether.

While we're all happy with the results of the Llano County Library situation today, I wish the media would specify that this is potentially a *temporary* victory. The vote was to remove the item from the agenda, not to vote it down altogether.

@ScottUhlTX @heiwabanzai I think that's the master plan: create the situations that get the libraries sued, then claim that the lawsuit expenses justify closing them altogether.

The people reading out of context excerpts from non-children novels while proudly wearing tees proclaiming themselves as "wallbuilders" have broken out into a spontaneous rendition of "Amazing Grace." #llano #llanocounty #library

@MagegirlNino Absolutely! That's probably why they don't identify the books they're reading from right up front. Create confusion, fuel more outrage, repeat.

And very few of them seem to know the words to the second/third verses...

@paulwaldman1 Classic play to engineer more outrage. The goal has always been to defund public libraries. These people are just the rage pawns making it happen.

We have now reached the part of the #Llano library hearing where opponents read dirty parts of YA books to explain why they should be banned. It's pretty spicy.
