2024-12-10
Arrr! Governor Phil Murphy of Jersey be raisin' the Jolly Roger against book bans! He’s givin’ a hearty “nay!” to scallywags who’d shackle the tomes in libraries. Now, librarians be safe from the hangman’s noose, joinin’ the likes of Illinois and Minnesota. A fine day for words, me hearties!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout the latest caper in the land o' New Jersey, where the fine Governor Phil Murphy, a right jolly lad, has declared war on the dastardly notion o' book banning! Aye, 'tis true! Just this Monday past, he penned a mighty law that forbids the scallywags in public and school libraries from tossin' tomes overboard.The good governor, wieldin' his pen like a cutlass, has granted our noble librarians a shield, protectin' 'em from civil and criminal charges should they choose to keep the books on their shelves. Aye, no more shall they be walkin' the plank fer lettin' the knowledge flow freely!
Now, New Jersey joins the ranks of other Democrat-led strongholds like Illinois and Minnesota, all bandin' together to fight the tyranny of book bans. Murphy, in a fine display of literary love, signed this noble decree at the Princeton public library, just a stone's throw from the esteemed halls of Princeton University, where the ivy does entwine like a good ol' sailor’s knot.
So, raise yer tankards, me mateys! For in this grand adventure of words and wisdom, we shall not let the landlubbers silence our tales! Yarr!
