Republicans are trying to defund public libraries in addition to book bans – Vox

Experts monitoring Republican efforts to shut down public libraries told Vox that the threat is often the last step in a series of escalations. Usually, lawmakers start with book bans. If the bans aren’t as effective as they’d hope, they escalate to threatening to defund local libraries. The threats tend to occur in states where lawmakers want to restrict health care for trans people, limit drag performances and curb how teachers discuss gender, sexuality, race, and history at school.

Trump first said he would not attend the trial, would offer no defense other than the video deposition he had already provided, but there…
