Leave it to Texas republicans to ban books. Free speech is circumstantial, apparently.

The question is, why do you think that the mere acknowledgement of gay people "promotes" the gay lifestyle?
Not sure what texts are in question here but the first thing that occurs to me is that the entire subject of orientation often has no relevance to it's surrounding subject matter so why is it even apparent in the material? Unless of course that's the point.

First, I believe these are books that they were trying to ban from the school libraries.

Second, a lot of reading material you get in schools are kind of eclectic. In the Catholic HS I went to, required reading were Orwell's books, Shakespeare's plays, but also some contemporary writers as well, dealing with contemporary issues.

I always hesitate when it comes to forcing people to make choices.... But with kids the margins are not so definite.

I'd have to see the books they were talking about first. I have removed a number of books here in Massachusetts from my grandson's curriculum and informed the school that they needed to find an alternative method for those credits. Most of the stuff they offer is good but there's the occasional radical department head who's got an agenda... School should be for learning not for orienting.

We are not the children's parents.

I repeat. Not the children's parents.

It is not our job to see the children are raised with a certain set of values OTHER THAN those which facilitate a productive learning environment. That would include general kindness, consideration, sharing, etc. I have yet to meet a family who will PROFESS objection to those basic tenets.

We are watching the new construction of a nanny state. Sure there have always been elements of it present but never like now. Hell....this effort isn't even subtle.

Um, so you have the ability to remove books from a curriculum for a GRANDCHILD?
 
Umm okay. Again think about this rationally. A kid picks up a book with gay characters in it. There’s no sex or nudity in it. That would do….what to the kid?

You perfectly well understand and you know. But you choose to shrug your shoulders and prefer the literal route of "well gee they said pornographic in the headline but I don't actually see any "porno" so what's the problem man". Because you're a contrarian and only interested in argument. All your responses are bob's and weaves as you don't do anything but post questions as answers or just spin someone's responses a new way.

Your reaction to post scores are enough to show you aren't worth the effort in trying to engage in actual conversation.
 
So republicans are concerned books are “pornographic” if they have gay characters in it. There doesn’t have to be sex or nudity in these books of course. They are simply pornographic for having gay characters lol. Republicans have the emotional maturity of 8th graders. This is ironic, of course, because they are pretending to they want to protect kids of such an age.

Think about this critically, republicans. Let’s say a kid’s book has a gay character in it who is fully clothed through out and a child read it. Do you really think with any rationality that this would turn the kid gay?

Is being gay something someone does at a store? Or something someone does with a cock in their ass?

I'm not sure if buying apples and getting fucked in the butt are the same thing.
 
Oh trust me I get that is your position. It’s simply an entirely emotional opinion that has no real world basis.
Look. Faggots don't raise quality people. Faggots aren't quality people.

If they were, they could have survived through all of human history until now...protected by real men who do real work protecting civilization.

Now fuck off and accept nature.

You do realize that homosexuality exists in nature, right?

if something is "unnatural" it's monogamy.

Clearly not a book ban.

The general public has access to all these books but schools do not. This has been the norm forever.

Some books are available to public school students others are not. They also do not have the Turner Diaries in schools nor should they.

While anyone outside government schools can look it up and read it such books should be in schools. The list goes on and on.

The sanctity of the Child is a prime target for the uber-progrssive humam hive advocates. The new norm for them is that there are no nominal parents. All children belong to All people....etc...etc
The nuclear family is an obstacle to them they see it as primitive and morally repressive.
