This recent article from The Hill is balanced: leads with recent conservative efforts but quickly reminds us that liberals led efforts to ban Huck Finn, Of Mice and Men, and To Kill a Mockingbird ffs.

It’s all worrisome regardless of who is leading the fight.

Wait, so some crazy liberals opposed Twain — did any school district actual enact a ban. Don’t align the actions of loons with leaders.

Why not ban them?

Ah, the ignorance.

Harper Lee was a lady writer. No clue what her preferred pronouns were. Doesn’t really matter anyway, right?

Probably believes it was written by Truman.

The religious right is taking hold and god help us all particularly women.

Punching women- books describing punching women in the face, locking them in the closet: those need to be in the school library, right PP? Those are the books?

It oppresses women if we don’t give our kids access to graphic descriptions of violence against women: that is what you are saying, isn’t it PP?

You are an idiot.

These books everyone should read.

Who are you to tell anyone else what books kids should read for their education? You don't want your kid to read them private school.

And who gets to decide those books the religious right? NO

Wait, so some crazy Florida people opposed a lesbian book - did any school district around here enact a ban? I agree, “don’t align the actions of loons with leaders.”

Don’t ban books.

Just cancel them. It sounds better.

Please explain the difference between banning and canceling.

“Cancelling” is but one of the many RWNJ talking points of the last few years, so what you’re talking about is two sides of the same fascist coin.

Liberals get off on canceling individual people. Republicans prefer to manipulate and control the masses.

Cancelling isn’t a “talking point” as you dismissively called it. It is censorship. But you knew that.

And the left has pushed it to frightening levels:

member of the Flagler County, Florida school board has filed a criminal complaint over four copies of an LGBTQ book recommended for 14 to 18 year olds, claiming it violates the state's obscenity laws.

"My concern is for the children of Flagler County," Jill Woolbright claims, according to the Palm Coast Observer. "This book needs to be investigated as a crime in our media center. This is pretty heavy stuff, violating our own policies.

What is with you people and your far-left, unreliable sources?

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/raw-story/

LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

Overall, we rate Raw Story Left Biased based on story selection that favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to half-true, false, and unproven claims, as well as the promotion of mild pseudoscience misinformation.

UNREAL. Good for these parents and that lawyer at the end. And now, we'll sit back and listen to DCUM liberals defend those books and why they should be in our public school libraries.

Yes, I'm sure you're such a champion of women, right? Did you even bother to watch the video that was posted? What did you think of the text concerning punching and kicking a woman, then locking her in a closet, only to kick her some more? Tell us. We'll wait.

I do know one of these books available to 13 year olds shows an explicit drawing of someone giving a blow job. I’m no prude and I think we should exercise extreme caution censoring books, but I don’t want my kid reading that. And no, my kid also doesn’t have unfettered access to the internet.

+1 I don’t support censorship of anything but restricting age inappropriate books is not only acceptable but sensible. But some of the radical fringe insist 9 years should be exposed to graphic imagery.

+2
Parents interested in exposing their children to the abuse and rape of women, as well as other graphic depictions of sex, are welcome to check those books out in a public library to share with their kids. They do not have any place in a public school. Period.
