Hannah Natanson at it again

[Anonymous]

Good old Hannah Banana is back to writing about Lawn Boy and Youngkin - this time talking about how her friend Stacy Langton was wrong about the book - but Hannah is still refusing to admit how much her inexperience and manipulation by people like Rory Cooper, Joanne Sears, and Stacy Langton contributed to this drama by writing article after article after article about it. I'm happy to see that perhaps she's distanced her selves from them, but girl, MOVE ON. GET SOME NEW MATERIAL.

And she once again tried to make a mountain out of a molehill. She included a quote from the author saying that his book was not suitable for middle schoolers and then she tried to throw the ALA under the bus for putting Lawn Bot on their adult books for teens list. I’m a middle school librarian— it is very clear that the books on that list are for high school. Lawn Boy was reviewed for upper high school. No standalone middle school librarian is putting it in their collection. She stirred up drama, the drama died down, and now she is trying to stir up more drama because she clearly was under a deadline with nothing else to write about.

She is literally the reason I ended my Post subscription. I got so angry at her decisions on what to cover and how to cover it re: education.

This is the important type of research that Natanson is undertaking as a Post reporter. Rather than pay any attention to declining academic achievement, decade-long overcrowding that has gone ignored at several FCPS high schools, or what exactly Dr. Michelle Reid means when she says she is committed to ensuring "equal outcomes" for FCPS students, Natanson quibbles with a local parent upset about a book that its own author has said was not intended for children:

"She zeroed-in on the same scene of oral sex that troubled Burkman in Texas. She became convinced, wrongly, that “Lawn Boy” shows fellatio taking place between an adult and a boy. In fact, the book describes a man in his 20s meeting another man in his 20s and remembering the consensual sexual encounter they shared in fourth grade."

Thanks so much for that critical clarification, Hannah. You are a rock star.

I am glad she highlighted the idiocy of Stacy Langton and others like her. They got riled up by right wing media and charged out there to attack schools and didn’t even know basic facts.

Nothing wrong with calling out RWNJ lies when they are being used to attack our schools and children.

You LWNJs have gone so far down the rabbit hole (and maybe other holes as well) that you don’t even realize that what you’re “clarifying” is still wildly inappropriate.

Thanks for demonstrating that RWNJs are perverts.

Hannah Natanson as a RWNJ-whisperer?!? The only people who would think that are the closed schooler left wing extremists who are to the left of AOC.

Hannah barely covered the anti-scientific prolonged school closures. She didn't cover why Scott Smith was protesting at the LCPS meeting where he was arrested (didn't fit the narrative). And she barely covered the anti-Asian, racist TJ admission changes.

We can only imagine your FCPS far left trolls who have started this thread.

she was terrible when FCPS refused to open schools for so long. i don't think a private school grad should write about public schools.

The education beat isn't a plum assignment at the Post, especially now that they've thinned their ranks and their local coverage has become third-rate.

She's just putting in time until she gets assigned to a different desk where she can do something more interesting. The last thing she wants to do while on the education beat is write something that might offend one of the liberal Chevy Chase editors at the Post who might reassign her to a more important beat.

Her stories all have an angle from the far left, including this article. How about an article about the straight up pornography in Gender Queer? How would it compare to pornography books not allowed in school libraries?

Except her story a few weeks ago on the grand jury report from LCPS. It was a straight news story about a story she previously completely blew and, when the truth came out, it made her look foolish.

I agree. No perspective.

I think she's a good writer.
