As the parent of a senior in high school. I can say most kids think the books in question are gross. And for the nutty grandmother's who think kids learn about sex from books. No they have the world of the internet in their hands while laying in bed at home. The books in question are not checked out by middle and high school kids. Why are these few books so important to far left grandmothers?? |
The Disney movie that Disney has hidden away for its gross racial stereotypes? What is the relevance to fascists banning books? |
When I think of 1984, I certainly think of gross sex acts. I can see why the party that brought you alternative facts wants it banned from schools |
? |
Just say “I’m fine with the slippery slope into broad censorship of great literature.” And be done with it. |
That would be the same thing as admitting that the pp is a fascist and that pp - who probably thinks of herself “moderate” - will never admit to such a thing, even as she votes straight Republican ticket. |
Book banning. I don’t think you really understand the meaning of the phrase. It is impossible for a school to ban a book. Sure, it can exclude a book from its library and not make it a part of the curriculum on the grounds that a significant portion of parents believe that reading “great literature” containing descriptions of fisting and the like is not necessary to become educated. But these books are still available in the marketplace. In fact, parents are free to expose their own children to pornographic material to whatever extent they choose. But schools should not make the consumption of these materials compulsory and are not obligated to make them freely available. This is really not a complicated issue. |
You are the clueless one. |
They’re not clueless, they’re fascist. Fascists tell lies all the time in service to their cult. |
Think of it like this. Do you know how you would not last very long at your job if you made oral sex a regular discussion topic at lunch? Your workplace can have behavioral standards without “banning” fellatio. That schools can have similar standards for similar reasons is really not that difficult to grasp. |
If that analogy was supposed to provide clarity, it failed. |
They know all of this. There are certain people who have kept this thread alive for years because they are so desperate for the state to provide sexual material to other people’s children. Of course they likely don’t even have children. |
Which books are you referring to? If you are talking about titles like 1984 and Slaughterhouse 5, then you need to read them if you have to ask. |
No, it is about free speech and exchange of ideas. Things the right was supposed to be so adamant about when wanting a nativity scene on public space. |
