What's the matter with Iowa? Bluenoses are in charge

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 7/9/2023
The passage of Senate File 496 places Iowa among a growing number of states including Florida, Arkansas, Arizona and Texas that have passed laws restricting books that conservatives contend are inappropriate for students. 
Iowa law defines “sex act” with specificity, providing a list of sexual interactions.  But Huseman and educators across the state say they are looking to the Iowa Department of Education to provide detailed advice on how to sort through entire libraries of books. 
How detailed does a sex scene need to be to meet the threshold? And who will flip through all the books to confirm they are sex-free?
