Some thoughts about making up our minds

Marion Hill’s February 3rd column “It’s a Free Country” addresses several Oklahoma legislative initiatives that are part of a large national education problem. She deals with some state bills that are attempts to restrict what students can read and study in schools and universities.

Another bill would prohibit school libraries from having books on the same subjects—sexual and racial identity.
