Oh, come off it. These books have been discussed ad nauseam and the graphics in question are all over the internet. Stop playing dumb. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, etc.


What graphics are in Lawn Boy? You said you saw them?


Your google machine is broken? GMAFB.

Because he’s smart, successful and doing great things for his state and other people. You know, all the good things the left intrinsically hates.


What has he done as governor?


I’m wondering the same.


Well for one extremely important thing, his education policies are parent centered


Well, I'm a Virginia parent. I would like my children to be taught sex education (and none of that abstinence only crap), I would like them to learn about our country's history of systemic racism, and I want them to have access to books with queer characters, and I think there should be gender neutral bathrooms in all schools so kids of all gender expressions feel safe and supported. Are you good with that?


No I’m not. And I’m a VA parent too. It is my job (and yours too, except you seem all too willing to shirk it) to teach my kids about sex, including that abstinence only crap if that is in line with our values.


Then send them to Catholic/private school..you have a choice. No one is forcing you to send your kid to a public school.

If you can’t afford it, then work harder. Isn’t that what you all say?



Why should I be forced to send my kids to private schools when I pay taxes to support public schools? Are you advocating for vouchers now?


Why should I be forced to ban books because you’re scared your child will actually learn about the world.

Suck it up and pay tuition. It’s not difficult, just work harder..



It’s not banning books. In many cases it’s actually banning pornography. Surely you can agree that is not appropriate for public schools to be providing to students?


No, it’s not pornography.


Anyone who says this either blissfully has their head in the sand or truly does not know the content of the books in question. They are completely inappropriate for minors.


I have read the books, have you?

Not all mature content is pornography. It's appropriate for older teens.


Yes I have, at least as much of it as I could stomach. Or get through without laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the poorly written text.

No, mature content does not belong in school libraries. How about this- if you’re so eager for your teens to learn the ins and outs of gay sex (pun intended) go buy them these books.


+1
And these people are peculiarly interested in making sure their kids have access to graphically sexual books. They’re free to buy them or borrow from their local pubic library to share with their own kids. Graphic images of blowjobs, dildos, masturbation, etc. do not belong in school libraries. I have to wonder if these morons are parents at all.

And to the idiot PP who questions whether we’ve read the books in question - of course we have. Which is why when you gaslight us about what’s actually in them, we will call you out on it. Funny how school boards wouldn’t even allow excerpts of these books to be read aloud in SB meetings because, “There might be children present!” Perfect example of the absolute hypocrisy on the left.


If you don't want your children to read those books, then forbid them from reading those books.


I would certainly rather my kids learn about these things in a book than from their peers


You'd like your kids to learn about giving blowjobs, wearing a dildo, and using a vibrator - from a trashy graphic novel? Your poor kids.

How do you teach your kids about dildos and vibrators?


You’re doubling down on the trolling, I see.

You’re an imbecile if you’re actually trying to equate the antiquated language found in the Bible excerpts you posted to be anywhere near the same league as the graphically sexual pictures and descriptions found in the books in question. Regardless, I would be fine not having Bibles available in public school libraries. They’re available in public libraries and bookstores. Not a big deal at all, and it isn’t “banning” anything.

Because it’s a veiled attempt to attack LGBTQ+ youth.



Sure, whatever you say. And of course, that’s what you *always* say. Yawn.

These “youth” don’t need to be living out their sex lived at school. Stay on topic please.


So when I was a high school girl, using the girls' bathroom and going to prom with my high school boyfriend, was that living out my sex life at school? Or does that not apply to people who are cis/het?



DP. Umm. Wtf are you babbling about? What does the bathroom or prom have to do with this discussion?

God forbid your middle school child learns how sex works. Suprise, he's rubbing one out every night in his bedroom anyways. Get over it you prudes.


Thanks for displaying the kind of "intellect" the left represents. Wow.


I grew up going to a Catholic school in Potomac and kids were getting HJs in the back of the rooms at school dances, myself included. Middle school in the 90s in a conservative catholic school. What do you think is happening now? Get over yourself. Your kids are into sex, one way or another.


Ok? Were school administrators assisting in making those HJs available? No? Didn’t think so. Schools are not in the business of providing graphically sexual material to kids. I know that disappoints you.

You are confusing urinating with sex. Ok. There is only so much we can help you with.



Seriously. The trolls here aren’t even intelligent.

So when trans people use bathrooms at school, is that or is that not "living out their sex lives at school"? One or the other, please. I would be happy to cross "BATHROOM PANIC!!!!!!!!!!1111111" off the list of culture-war issues.


The PP is correct. You are very confused. Not to mention wildly off-topic.

Kids are actually much less sexually active than they were when we were in high school and middle school in the 90s.


Because they are all watching half naked girls on tik tok/instagram and rubbing one out in their bathroom

These books are nowhere as scandalous as social media.


And are public schools showing sexual TikToks to students? Nope. You are not making the case you think you are. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Cool, cool

What about some books by popular author Judy Blume? Excerpt from young adult novel, Forever, published in 1975:

""This time I tried to relax and think of nothing - nothing but how my body felt- and then Ralph was pushing against me and I whispered, 'Are you in... are we doing it?'
'Not yet,' Michael said, pushing harder. 'I don't want to hurt you.'
'Don't worry... just do it!'
'I'm trying, Kath... but it's very tight in there.'
'What should I do?'
'Can you spread your legs some more... and maybe raise them a little?'
'Like this?'
'That's better... much better.'
I could feel him halfway inside me and then Michael whispered, 'Kath...'
'What?'
'I think I'm going to come again.'
I felt a big thrust, followed by a quick sharp pain that made me suck in my breath. 'Oh... oh,' Michael cried, but I didn't come. I wasn't even close. 'I'm sorry,' he said, I couldn't hold off.' He stopped moving. 'It wasn't any good for you , was it?'
'Everybody says the first time is no good for a virgin. I'm not disappointed.' But I was. I'd wanted it to be perfect.""

Reading a book isn't "living out their sex lives".

Still waiting on an answer to this:

You said you don’t want your teens learning about those things from a book. Do you prefer the interwebs? TV? YouTube? Pornhub?

Go ask your teen if they know about them. And where they learned about them.

I read Forever in junior high, a few years after it came out. I don't remember if I got the book from the school library or the public library. The only part of the book that really stuck with me was that the boy named his banana.

Lol it’s funny how “parents” are seemingly so desperate for the state to provide their children with sexually graphic material.

Schools must provide students access to 120 days of sodom and American Psycho to my 11 year old - How dare the BOOK BANNERS try to stop this!
