I think this is absurd. Libraries are places of knowledge and curiosity. If people aren't thinking critically about what they read, the government shouldn't put the blame on libraries and librarians. They need to be more worried about educating the public by funding schools to teach students through critical thinking instead of memorization. Yes, that'll be harder to achieve, but the change will be transformative.
If that's the government's goal and people are are willing to let that happen without a fight, then we may as well give up our free will and just obey as we're told. This is a disgrace imo.
