You should be outraged because their track record in discerning truth from fiction is poor. As a blatant example, they didn't censor reporting on the now discredited Steele Dossier, but they did censor reporting on the now proven to be real Hunter laptop.

Its basically saying we determine what you read on Twitter. End of story.
You would like your twitter to only agree with you? Only give you one point of context?
Just asking, not accusing what so ever. It would certainly be easier to live that way.

The school district said in a statement Tuesday that it was reviewing the books “out of an abundance of caution” to “ensure they did not have any obscene or vulgar material in them.”
“Most of those are appropriate and will stay on our library shelves as is, however, some may contain content that needs further review to ensure the books are accessible based on age appropriateness,” Aubrey Chancellor, executive director of communications, said in the statement. “For us, this is not about politics or censorship, but rather about ensuring that parents choose what is appropriate for their minor children.”
...
Chancellor told NBC News the district had already been in the process of reviewing its books after deeming one book inappropriate last year and has looked into the age appropriateness of others. She said the district was being proactive and described Krause’s list as a “jumping off point.”
“When I look at some of those titles on there, they in no way are going to be inappropriate,” she said. “They’re going to be absolutely reviewed and back on the shelves. So, you know, maybe all of them may end up going back on our shelves. But we just want to do our due diligence.”
Chancellor said each librarian “is responsible for reviewing the books that they have in their particular libraries.”
“We are simply looking for vulgar or obscene text and knowing that our books are at the appropriate levels, and the appropriate ages are able to check those out,” she said.
She added that between Thursday and Monday, more than 100 of the books “had been reviewed and approved” and deemed age appropriate.

The rhetorical nature of that headline led me to wonder if that tweet made sense. It didn’t.
From the article:
Does anybody read the articles they grab headlines from? The article is bashing that idea.
