    I realize it isn’t the sheriff’s own initiative to go hunting for “obscene” books but the people who pull his strings from the top. However I bet, 10 to 1, that most of these people banning books and so frightened by books about human behavior and sexuality probably have stashes of porn somewhere in their own houses or bedrooms.

    Sheriff Robert Norris is speaking into his body camera. “Today’s date is April 20, approximately 7 a.m. Just want to document my visit to the Hayden Library. My attorney and I are just curious and would like to document this visit to see what kind of materials are on display here.”

    Norris, the sheriff of Kootenai County, Idaho, meets up outside the library with Marianna Cochran, the founder of CleanBooks4Kids, a “grassroots group of North Idaho citizens alarmed at the abundance of books sexualizing, grooming, and indoctrinating kids in our local libraries at taxpayer expense,” to search for the book Identical, which Norris says he had “seen an image [of] floating on social media.”

    So it’s a fishing expedition with some random right wing nutjob in tow, huh?

      to search for the book Identical,

      Does he not know how to use the Dewey decimal system? You don’t have to search for books in a library, you just look them up in the catalog and then go directly to where they’re displayed. Better yet, the library probably has their catalog online.
