Republicans: don’t want to read a book? Fine. Don’t want your child to read a book? Fine.

It's another case of "every accusation is a confession." Republicans pretend that if someone is criticizing a work of media, they're actually trying to ban that media. Then the Republicans present themselves as the defenders of freedom. But the moment Republicans are in power, they try to ban media that threatens their power. That's what the whole "cancel culture" nonsense was about.
