Washington DC (Northwestiowanow.com) — A small handful of citizens held signs up along Grand Avenue Monday, drawing attention to what Congresswoman Mary E. Miller of Illinois calls the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act”. Diane Smith told KICD News she feels it’s the start of state-controlled censorship.

The American Library Association is against the proposed law, saying the federal government would strip the rights of parents, local communities, and educators.
