Letters to the editor Dec. 4

Book bans

While I commend the Montana Republican Party and Mom’s For Liberty for making some headway in protecting our citizens from the harmful effects of reading certain unacceptable library books, I don’t think they have gone far enough. 

Yes, we have made some progress by rejecting national library standards, other Republican states are well ahead of us in stopping the “woke“ ideology of the leftist, communist, socialist terrorists that are trying to brainwash our children and destroy our country. 

Take Florida for example. They have successfully banned from their libraries many more “woke” books by authors including Ernest Hemingway, Leo Tolstoy, Toni Morrison, Maurice Sendak and William Shakespeare. 

It’s about time Montana Republicans and Mom’s For Liberty get with the program. As an aside, think of all the money we’d save when we reduce the size of our libraries so that they will fit in a large room closet.
