A bill introduced in the North Dakota Senate aims to restrict explicit content in schools and public libraries. Senator Keith Boehm argues that it doesn’t ban books but rather promotes a safer environment for minors by relocating such material to less accessible areas. Critics, however, contend that the bill isn’t necessary and could lead to censorship, stressing that libraries already have established review processes. The committee has yet to take action following public discussions on the proposal.
