@ProPublica It would be one thing if conservatives were challenging the rather vague definition of pornography, i.e. "I know it when I see it." Maybe a more specific definition would be helpful.

But they aren't doing that. Instead they are using it to go after Black History and books about LGBT issues that are helpful for students who want to learn something without asking the Internet.
