Can someone explain how DeSantis ever wins?

[Anonymous]

I was just reading over in the book banning thread, wondering where the book banning fascists had run off to and I see they’re peddling their “ThEm BananD BucKS wUz TOo SexxXy” lies here.

Here are the books that were banned in Duval County in Florida. Don’t let the fascists lie to you; it’s not about sex, it’s about white supremacy and misogyny, about making sure that kids don’t start to think for themselves or question anything, that kids with gay parents feel ashamed (or that gay kids learn to stay in the closet where the GOP tolerates them). https://pen.org/banned-books-florida/?fbclid=IwAR3MUhy2VxNRvfSOmPPLKf_yZfi1PliT-VX7RHxt7o7FTMO2jzAQKqxE8xM&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

DeSantis is a fascist. Anyone who supports him is too.

Desantis is coming folks! The GOP has made it priority one to master the art of “mail in ballots” and “ballot harvesting” more so than the Dems. Once that happens, it’s a whole new ball game.

My fear of Trump was always that someone smarter would use the same playbook. Everything DeSantis does is to score political points and it seems to be working

Deer Park Elementary third-grade teacher Magen Wilson said she cried upon learning the direction the state law is sending the district.

“Books are incredibly powerful and empowering. They are a safe space to learn about uncomfortable things and provide a safe escape for people of all ages,” Wilson told the Tampa Bay Times via email. “I feel like children are now being robbed of those needed experiences.”

She said throughout her 14 years teaching, she’s put together a set of books in which her students can find themselves, so they can feel the literature includes them. Creating a cookie-cutter selection doesn’t allow for the variety of situations that teachers see, she said.

At the same time, the district has removed access to the Pasco County public library system through students’ online district portal. It did so after hearing parents detail how children could access adult-oriented materials through the system.

I devoured books when I was in elementary school. I remember specifically my teacher giving me her preview copy of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in 2nd grade because she thought I'd like it. And it inspired in me a life-long love of science fiction.

Limiting books to children is the OPPOSITE of what an educational system should be doing.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is one of my all-time favorite books. Why are you equating that book to books which aren't appropriate for children because they might contain pornographic images or themes? Bizarre.

Why are these teachers such drama queens? There will be plenty of books in their classroom - probably all the same books they currently have. They're simply going to be reviewed to make sure nothing like "Gender Queer" appears there. This is not hard to comprehend.

You are the drama queen. And a liar to boot.

Who are you to say what is pornographic?

And who are you to say what isn't?

???? I guess if the book depicts cartoon characters in compromising positions instead of actual people, it's not considered pornographic in your mind.

Sex is not pornography.

And those books were for upper grades, exactly the time kids need to be learning about sex.

"Learning about sex" does not equate to learning about using dildos, you absolute imbecile.

Fine. You teach your kids about sex using these books. Any book that promotes sex for children should not be in school libraries.

DP. What do you consider to be “promotion” vs. just education? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think these books are encouraging children to have sex. My understanding is that these types of books explain sex and intimate body issues (menstruation, etc.) in a healthy, safe, positive (as in - without shaming or making it seem like a bad thing, not as in encouraging minors to have sex) way. I grew up in an immigrant family and my parents never sat me down for a sex talk. I learned everything from school sex ed (thankfully I attended MCPS and not some abstinence-only TX school district), conversations with friends, and books like these. IIRC American Girl had a book about puberty and bodies. I’m sure there are lots of families like this and having these resources available to kids is a good thing. It’s not pornography.

DP. The American Girl books about puberty and (I believe) basic sex information are not in ANY WAY comparable to the book, "Gender Queer," which shows pictures of children/teens engaged in sex, using sex toys, and speaking graphically about sex. I mean, come on. Have you even read "Gender Queer"? It's incredibly disingenuous to be making your arguments that books like that are equivalent to "sex ed".

They were banned from being purchased for the Classroom Library project. If a parent wants their child to be exposed to these books, they can get them from local public libraries or order them through the inter library system. Stop fear mongering.

If you want to expose children to pornographic material, you should be put back on your heels. Exposing children to sexualized (not sex ed-- but material intended to arouse sexual interet or curiosity) is harmful to kids. You dont have a right to expose children to depictions of sex and masturbation. This should not be controversial. If you agree to not expose children to works like Gender Queer, we wont have to have these onerous processes.
