The judge asked the govt if the Kennedy Center is going bankrupt. You should've seen them backpedal

With book bans increasing in the U.S., it’s interesting that many of the top 10 banned books in 2022 include children’s literature.

“Right now, every parent may access our library catalogs. Parents and guardians have the ability to restrict their own children from checking out a book, set of books, or an author at any time"
