Senator Reads Aloud From Pornographic Book in Hearing'Disturbing'
"Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, read aloud from a sexually graphic book during a hearing about Illinois' anti-book ban law on Tuesday.
Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias testified before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to defend his state's law that prohibits public libraries from removing books that may be viewed as controversial from shelves.
The law comes amid a culture war battle about whether schools and public libraries should feature books that discuss gender identity, sexual orientation and race. Conservatives have argued these books should effectively be banned to prevent children from learning about topics they view as inappropriate for that age. Critics, however, say these book bans are merely meant to stifle expression of the LGBTQ+ community amid a recent rise in homophobia and transphobia."
