The fraudulently named Freedom to Read Act is more accurately the Freedom To Groom and Sexually Exploit Act! A3446/S2421 allows librarians and staff in public schools and public libraries to pander to pornography to minors. That is the bill's stated intention by its sponsors, Sen. Andrew Zwicker and Assemblywoman Mitchelle Drulis, Democrats of LD16. AKA The Grindr Bill the legislation exposes children to dangerous apps like Grindr, a Gay Sex Hookup App. This bill gives sweeping powers to the Commissioner of Education and other bad actors such as the New Jersey Association of School Libraries and the New Jersey School Board Association to develop a model policy regarding media content and libraries. Regardless of its allowance for local school boards to participate in the vetting of materials and libraries, the process outlined and A3446/S2421 gives the heavy hand of the Commissioner of Education final say and the ability to amend the model policy at any time. If librarians are not breaking the law, why do they need an exemption from state obscenity laws? Federal law is stronger than New Jersey's obscenity laws. This will force responsible parents, educators, and community leaders to seek federal charges with the US district attorney or file suit in federal court. Protect OUR children! New Jersey residents have spoken loudly to you. Vote no on S2421!
