Georgia Republican lawmakers passed a law to make it easier to challenge school library books as inappropriate, but few people are using it.

I applaud Georgia for actually passing a law that makes sense.
There’s no reason why anyone who isn’t a parent of a current student should have any right to Object to books in a school’s library.
They’re already shitting up the public libraries with their senseless challenges.
I’m not sure this is applause worthy. Why do we need this in the first place (other than FUD about “large scale” indoctrination)?
A law that enables people to attack the inclusion of Queer topics in library books is bad, actually, even if no one has used it yet.
That is a valid concern to have; but until you can present examples of parents doing so; I am going to still give Georgians the credit for enacting such a law until it is so misused.
Why? What benefit is gained by engendering the ability to oppress Queer people?
I am seeing all (and major) downside and no conceivable benefit.
