DP. I addition, you and your ilk are also going after more than just your "porn" books. Your type are also targeting works like biographies of Harriett Tubman, Malala Yousafzai, Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, etc. Or books that might dare to have gay people or families as characters. Anything that doesn't show a straight, white, Christian point of view appears to be fair game. I'm a straight white Christian, but we live in a diverse community, and my young DDs have friends who look and believe very differently from our family. Why should those children not be able to walk into our elementary school library and see books that reflect themselves, as well? |
I assume you're talking to me (the person who doesn't want porn in schools). You have no idea what my ilk is so I'll tell you. I'm an atheist liberal Democrat. So no, I don't want those other books removes, just the ones showing gay porn. |
In general, your "ilk" (i.e., those trying to ban books from school libraries) are going after FAR more than just "porn" (or I guess just gay porn in your case, since thats what you stated). You should read up on some of the lists for banned books in Florida, Texas, even in our own backyard. They aren't just stopping with Gender Queer. |
Why are you so afraid of gay and trans people? From the earliest ages I read books about all different types of people and situations. It informed me but never changed my morals or actions, just broadened my horizons. |
If you were more liberal (like me), you would address what I said rather than what you fantasized I said which was that I don't want other books removed, just porn. |
No,one is afraid of gay or trans people. But the reason I said I wanted gay porn removed is that, to my knowledge, there's no straight porn in schools but I would want that removed too if it was. |
So you have literally no idea what you're talking about, what books are being stripped from schools, but the shiny object of alleged gay "porn" caught your attention. |
But you do understand that this movement is all one and the same, correct? Or are you not paying attention? |
As a liberal, I don't care about a movement. I just care about kids not being exposed to porn in schools. |
This porn-obsessed poster is a troll. Don't engage. |
The ones obsessed with porn are the progressives who want it in schools. |
Why isn't Penthouse available in school libraries? You and your hypocritical mom group are apparently the kind of ignorant backwoods people who call a magazine a "book." Penthouse is a magazine. We are talking about books. Is Penthouse even published anymore? |
I don’t understand the outrage. If you want to read any book, there are many places to access free books. No one is suggesting these books are banned everywhere. No author is being dragged out to the street to be tarred and feathered. Most people are just asking that there be some consideration to age-appropriate materials.
Why do we have G, PG and R rated movies? It is so that some content is restricted from children. I use common sense media a lot to determine what I wanted DC to see and not see based on age appropriate psychosocial development. I feel like most good parents do this. |
Nope. Many students do NOT have access to Free books. Many students don’t have parents who will take them to a library or have the technology to read digitally. They need to be available for all students. Removing books students previously had access to is banning. Plain and simple. |
Librarians already screen for age appropriate material in libraries. |
