If there's one thing Republicans can't stand, it's helping the poor.

It's two fold for them, I'd bet money that they're also trying to disconnect the youth in some attempt to grow their dwindling youth base. Their dumb book bans don't work so well when kids can just hop on the Internet and get it anyways (and more)

Can't have kids learning all that "empathy" and "caring" indoctrination! /s
