Listen to the exact words in the exact books Democrats want in our public school libraries

[HeyNorm]

I don't think so.

I think you've just mistaken a book with a brief passage describing a gay sexual encounter - less than 0.3% of its content - with porn.

Why you've done this...

Does the Bible and it's incredibly disturbing contents and directives define this norm?

Away from glorifying child rape and murder as the Bible does?

I certainly hope so.

My agenda of free speech?

You find that objectionable?

Actually, it's wildly uneven in its application, and quite a mysterious process.

Idiotic and arbitrary.

See above.

See above.

But it's a book.

They don't have ratings.

If they did however, the Bible would be NC-17.

It's a book.

Fallacious.

Numerous examples already provided - read the thread, the Bible or Google.

100% straw.

There are few humans lower than the Taliban and ISIS. Those promoting child porn are one of those.

Keep justifying this and keep showing how evil you are.

 

[MinTrut]

Are you suggesting it is ok then simply because it is describing a homosexual act vs a heterosexual act?

People have been having sex for tens of thousands of years, including anal sex.

There are a bunch of books that talk about sex, but anal sex makes a lot of people squeamish for various reasons.

In this case, the issue is clearly homophobia.

So what's happening is that YOU are the one with the problem because the sex is anal - and gay - and not heterosexual.

That’s even more illogical than you previous positions.

Your homophobia, and its many illogical aspects, is the problem.

I have read the Bible from cover to cover

Just the one time?

, many times.

Oh my - time to dig in again.

How about you?

I'm fine - thanks for asking.

It’s homophobic to want child porn removed from schools?

You realize the admission you just made?

 

[MinTrut]

Do you support child pornography in schools?

Do you support books which glamorize and glorify child trafficking, rape and murder in the schools?

Yes or no.

Don't deflect.

 

[j-mac]

There are no books in public schools describing homosexual sex to children. You're a gullible idiot if you believe that

Once again, you are in these boards flat out lying....

"The book Gender Queer is a graphic memoir by Maia Kobabe that explores the author's identity and sexuality. The book is in some school libraries in North Carolina and South Carolina1, but not in Fort Mills schools1or in schools that follow the South Carolina Department of Education's recommendation2. The book has been challenged by some parents who find it inappropriate for students231, but has been defended by some school boards and reviewers who consider it a literary work and a valuable resource345."

 

[MinTrut]

Right out of the left-wing playbook,

I'd love to see this playbook; as an independent, I'm not privy.

we are at the point where MinTrut is arguing what the definition of “is” is.

The Bible IS not appropriate for under 12s, nor IS Lawn Boy.

Clear?

 

[MinTrut]

I see JoeB's here, so I'll tag out.

 

[j-mac]

These books are disgusting, and to make them available to kids in school libraries is borderline criminal behavior under the child corruption acts, and statutes....

 

[JoeB131]

I'm not hanging out for long, I have a wedding today.

You must be a homophobe then.

Yes, anything that tells adolescents that it's OK to be gay, must be removed from the shelves. Children must NEVER learn that homosexuality is normal for a small subset of people. It might give them ideas that they're not crazy, or going to hell forever.

Author of 'Gender Queer,' one of most-banned books in U.S., addresses controversy

“There are people for whom this is vital and for whom this could maybe even be lifesaving,” Maia Kobabe said.

How a Debut Graphic Memoir Became the Most Banned Book in the Country (Published 2022)

Maia Kobabe’s book “Gender Queer,” about coming out as nonbinary, landed the author at the center of a battle over which books belong in schools, and who gets to make that decision.

The book bannings aren't protecting children from pornography. They're keeping them from learning that being gay isn't wrong.

Of course Bingos like this dipshit think we should ban things he finds disgusting. He's a sensitive little bitch.

You teach your children to take it up the ass, not mine...

Again, kids can find far more explicit stuff online.

Do right wingers suffer from some sort of amnesia where they forget how horny they were as teenagers.

Yes or no.

No

Now explain why YOU refused to answer the question

 

[JoeB131]

and that's what bothers you, that they validate gay practices, not that it's sexual content for children.

 

[Curried Goats]

No

Now explain why YOU refused to answer the question

Why when you haven't even proven it is pornography?

That’s a bs argument. Maybe YOU didn’t give a shit what your kids were exposed to, others do. What makes you think YOU can make the choices for them?

 

[alang1216]

Did you hear the excerpt that was read aloud? It was cringe worthy. You believe that is ok for a child to read?

It certainly was cringe worthy but many things are cringe worthy but there may be children that need to here it. If a child asks about the subject what should our reaction be?
There is movement by the Right to limit what children can read about slavery. That period was cringe worthy but that knowledge is valuable. The Holocaust was cringe worthy but that knowledge too is valuable. Where is the line? Violence is OK but sex is not?

Society has a right to protect your children from your own neglect.
