Republicans Shut Down Tennessee Libraries to Begin Massive Book Ban

Dec 1, 2025 | Libraries across the state of Tennessee have begun shutting down as a new Republican order is forcing them to perform massive reviews of their books to align with the Republican-backed book ban in the state. Never in human history have the people that have banned books been the good guys, but that hasn't stopped Republican voters and politicians from thinking that they are the heroes of this story. They will be viewed as some of the biggest villains of our era, as Farron Cousins explains.
