Well I guess this means their precious holy bible is going to be removed from every library across the state. They've made a point of making the bill vague with no real definitions other than "content that would be viewed as pornographic by any average citizen." Cool, I'm an average citizen and I not only find the contents pornographic, but that it also falls under the other categories of "lacks serious ... artistic, political or scientific value." OK I might give some leeway under the artistic category as it is a great example of historical fiction. However if I were a librarian in this state I would immediately pull all religious texts from the shelves to protect myself. This is some 1984-scary shit.
