Gotta vent here. I've managed to stay quiet about what's been going on in South Dakota. I figure they'll get what they deserve when they can't fill jobs because no educated woman in her right mind will remain in or move to the state. I'll leave the South Daktotans to their foolishness. It's the folks down in Oklahoma who are raising my blood pressure today. Apparently their state house has passed a bill that "prohibits local funding authorities and library boards from funding their public libraries unless the libraries have 'place[d] all children and young adult materials that contain homosexual or sexually explicit subject matter in a special area [and limited] distribution . . . to adults only.' The bill also specifies that the state library must withhold funds from noncompliant public libraries." As the bill's sponsor, Rep. Sally Kern, apparently said in the March 16 Daily Oklahoman, “Our society is obsessed with sex.� Yep. It looks like you, Ms. Kern, are Exhibit A.
