Honest question: what is so dangerous about children seeing nudity / sex in media? I understand that it could skew their perception of what reality is like, but I think a good book is often better at realistically depicting this kind of stuff than what they would find on the internet when the legal sources have dried up.
It's not about that. It's about targeting minorities, history they don't like, etc.
If they know what it is, they can identify what is happening if some of these adults behind this movement are trying to take advantage of them. With a fifth of the state population meeting the definition for illiteracy and the whole of it being #47 for education in the country, it's not exactly surprising that the voters (writ large) aren't familiar enough with how libraries work to prevent being duped into supporting this.
