Whew.

Seems to be, that the NFL welcomed Michael Vick back with open arms. Seems to me, therefore, that maybe he just isn't that good of a quarterback. Are the NFL owners all right wingers? I have no idea.
"and any author who the right doesn't like."
Well, that issue went way over your head. You see, no one is saying those authors can't earn a living. But we don't necessarily need those books in public schools. If people want to choose to buy that crap, good for them. That doesn't mean I want my money used to buy those books, so that my kids have to see them.
Whoopi Goldberg (liberal) says unbelievably stupid things about the Holocaust, Disney gives her a 2 week suspension (if it's with pay, that's the same as a vacation).
Gina Carrano (a conservative) says something factually correct about the Holocaust, and the same Disney fires her on the spot.
That's a better comparison. Or all of social media refusing to allow any news about Hunter Biden's laptop before the election, then saying after the election that it was accurate information.
Paul, being opposed to spending public money on a book, is nowhere near the same thing, as saying the author shouldn't be able to make a living. If you want to show your children a book with illustrations of young boys blowing each other, that's your right, spend your money and time however you'd like. But please leave me, and my tax dollars, out of that scene.
That doesn't come close to making me a book burner. Our children have lost more than a year of standard education. They need more math, science, and actual literature. Not politically divisive crap.
