[CASL-L] Content warnings

[Cyndi Hansard]

Absolutely not. Movies don’t have this level of content ratings, and it’s
much easier to close a book than to leave the theater.

This not only seems like a complete waste of a librarian’s time but also a
great way to get your books challenged faster!

It sounds like this librarian is in Texas where it is now the law that book
sellers assign content ratings to books. Certain content will then be
banned from school libraries:

Maybe she is trying to get ahead of the law, but I don’t think we need to
make the book banners’ jobs any easier for them.
