I don’t believe they would go under and don’t care if they do.

They absolutely would, and you may not care but hundreds of thousands of parents and kids worldwide do. Scholastics is one of the biggest publisher’s for kids reading material out there.

If they are choosing to cater to bigotry to avoid going under, then that is wrong.

It’s not that simple. The choice is either ‘cater’ or don’t operate in that area at all. They don’t get to pick and choose which laws to abide by.

To speak of missing points, though, some asshole suggested this hateful policy was potentially enacted to protect teachers and I brought up what would actually protect librarians and them.

‘Some asshole’? Because they pointed out a reasonable explanation? And no, you didn’t bring up something that would protect them; firstly the punishments going include the loss of teachers license (IE: they can never teach in a school in that state again) secondly because the state laws are so stacked against them that it would instead bankrupt scholastic. A mob of lawsuits can and will bury the publisher in legal fees.

So you can stop being so disrespectful to other people with other ideas.

Now you’re shitting about congress like we aren’t 4 layers deep in hypothetical at this point and Scholastic was never trying to protect people so the point you are arguing it moot.

Congress? I’ve been talking about state legislature, with a mix of Supreme Court, as that would be the only federal court that can strike down these laws as unconstitutional.

Hypothetical? Nah dude, these legal actions are already being abused to hell and back.
