Don’t be Fooled: Laws like KOSA are just book bans, just like book bans.
They are intentionally designed to cut young people off from a universe of ideas and information, says Julian Zelizer .
Zelizer says Democrats ' own-goal is taking aim at the very means that political excitement is engendered, including that which has tended to benefit Democrats .
KOSA is even worse than banning book bans, says Julian Zelizer .
Zelizer says it would be bad only when Republicans engage in censorship and not when Democrats do it too.
He says the rush to “think of the children!” is not thinking about how much what a law is trying to do will actually harm them.
The goal of the law is to help ensure the minds of the next generation can develop into healthy adults, he says.
