"require stores to rate books based on sexual content, arguing the measure would violate their First Amendment rights"
I'm not an American but this doesn't make a lot of sense. Isn't the first amendment about freedom of speech, how does providing a rating limit your freedom of speech? It just lets people know how explicit your speech is, so they can see whether they want to avoid it or not. It doesn't sound like it is stopping you from expressing yourself.
"It will be a huge burden,” Valerie Koehler, the owner of Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston, said of the law. She estimates that schools account for some 20 percent of her store’s sales. “It’s unfathomable to think that we would need to rate every book, not only ones that we’d sell in the future to schools, but also any books we’ve sold in the past.”
"The store does not have records of titles sold over the last half century, much less a way to know which of them are still in circulation — but under the law, BookPeople would be responsible for rating those books."
Do they not read what they're selling or at least know what they're selling? How would it be difficult? They sound lazy. Besides, the article also says the state would assign a rating if the state disputes the stores rating. The store could just rate all books at whatever rating and then let the state do the rest.
The rest of it doesn't even mean that these books are being banned. They are still being published and are freely available to purchase.

@Zerglingman @rms @freedomtux not that I agree with these things btw, I think ratings are retarded and give parents an easy way out to avoid having to do any critical thinking of their own and most people ignore them anyway, but yeah, I don't see how this is any worse than film, video game, and music ratings that have been going on for decades.
-
@Zerglingman @freedomtux @rms in any case how is it any more impossible to implement than film ratings, and game ratings. those seem to have been easily implemented and are more or less enforced
