Penguin Claims Right to Fill Children's Minds With Porn

We'll see how far this goes.

Publisher Penguin Random House and the writers' group PEN America filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a Florida school district over the removal of books from public school libraries that address race and LGBTQ issues.

The lawsuit, that is also being brought by parents and students, is the latest opposition to a policy central to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his agenda as he prepares to run for president.

The book removals are unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech, according to the suit against the Escambia County School District and the school board....

Gee.

Penguin/Random House claims that the First allows them to fill school libraries with porn--or at least highly-suggestive material depicting or condoning immoral acts and/or people with grave psychiatric disorders.

"Free Speech" and all that.  They--and the affected authors--also claim the right to your money.  See, "free" speech is not really "free."  You have to pay the publisher and the author for the privilege of having them fill the minds of children with sex propaganda.

Really?
