Implementation guidelines say that banned materials must be “legally disposed of” and “may not be sold or distributed”.

So, a book burning. Got it.

Sounds like those author's free speech is being tread on.

For Republicans it only counts when it's their own free speech. After all, their psychology is "I get to tell you what to do but you don't get to tell me what to do."

They love the original Nazi book burning. They destroyed decades of research into human sexuality, homosexuality, and transgenderism.
