Note this section: Proponents tout these expansions as ways to improve voter turnout and access while easing the pressure…
A recent teapot tempest in the Censorship Wars (at least the skirmishes over keeping arguably pornographic and sex-promoting work out of elementary school libraries) has to do with parents’ objecting to a graphic novel version of Ann Frank’s diary.
