    I’m sure they can have sexual content in the books, so long as it results in women being shunned or dying. Those are classics! It’s only the books with pleasurable, consensual sex that ends in a happy committed relationship that get banned.https://twitter.com/TulsaTeresa/status/1516417753183358979 …

    Tessa Dare added,

    TulsaTeresa @TulsaTeresa
    The public library in Enid, Oklahoma has jumped the shark. Due to bans on sexual content in presentations by public entities, the romance novel (“bodice rippers”) book club enjoyed mostly by older ladies in the community are now canceled. No thrilling novel sex episodes for you!

        You’d be wrong about that. Fucking Florida just banned my book again for a one-page date rape scene. Because they think that is porn.

        The statement the library put out makes it pretty clear they're doing some malicious compliance in response to the guidelines banning a sexual assault display rather than banning books because the librarians are Puritans

        Dr Melissa L Gustin  🏛 added,

        Public Library of Enid.  In light of recent changes to program and display policies at the Public Library of Enid and Garfield County, 2 programs have been canceled for the month of April.  The Sexual Assault Awareness program/display and the Shameless Romance book club discussion have been canceled. Displays or programs that focus on sexual content are not allowed at the library.  The library respects the authority of the library board to set library policies. Community members who would like to be heard on the subject of library board policies are encouraged to contact the library board, city council or the mayor.  The city council's contact information can be found at https://www.enid.org/government/city-council.  Contact information for the mayor can be found at https://www.enid.org/government/office-of-the-mayor .
