And what then should parents do if they think librarians haven't been doing a good enough job? Convince them all one by one until the librarians all agree with the parents? Or simply pass a law making sure the librarians follow the guidelines the majority has agreed upon?

maintain better control over their kids instead of trying to trash a public resource??

The public managing a public resource in the way they see fit is not trashing it. That's how it's supposed to work.

Censorship of all families' choices because you are too inept to manage your own child is not actually how "it" is supposed to work
