Jeffrey S. Solochek writes: “US Judge Carlos Mendoza ruled against state efforts to restrict school books and materials that ‘describe sexual conduct,’ saying the standard was too broad and vague. The 2023 law has led to the removal of thousands of books from school libraries. The 50-page order, which is likely to be appealed, takes issue with several aspects of the government’s arguments,” including the ideas that curating library materials is government speech and that references to sexual conduct make a work “pornography.”
