This Missouri bill, which would cut off state aid to any public library that allows minors to access 'age-inappropriate sexual materials,' has been introduced in the state House. Librarians who don't comply could face up to a $500 fine or one year in jail.
A Missouri lawmaker says he wants to prevent kids from being exposed to sexually inappropriate materials. Critics say his proposal, aimed at public libraries, amounts to censorship.
The bill, called the Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act, would cut off state aid to any public library that allows minors to access"age-inappropriate sexual materials." Librarians who don't comply with the law could face up to a $500 fine or one year in jail. It was introduced in the Missouri state House last week.
