Virginia School Board Proposes Burning Books

[Anonymous]

What is going on here at DCUM? Did we all forget our own youth? How innocent were all of you guys in high school? It’s not like the 80’s and 90’s were some pristine era!! I was there so you can’t pretend it wasn’t so.

Honey I went to public school and am much younger than you. None of this s*** flew then and it won’t fly now, no matter how hard liberals stomp their feet and complain that tales of child prostitution won’t be taught in schools.

The likes of you and the children you are raising don’t read books anyway. The topics are not being taught. They are accessible books. Do you even have enough education about history to understand why book burning is bad? Critical thinking skills have been bred out of your family. Thirty years of home schooling has doomed this country.

I say keep going GOP. You will succeed in making VA permanently a blue state.

Yes, that’s definitely what the last election showed. Parents really love handing over the reigns of their children’s education to school boards.

You really don't get the difference from school systems purchasing disturbing books and putting them in school libraries and "banning books?"

No one is calling on books to be banned. We just want common sense controlsof what goes into school libraries where --with the exception of those just turned 18--all of the target audiences are minors.

It's "reins." Perhaps focus on your own education before getting involved in that of others.

They are going to like turning over the reins to people like you even less. I fully support your right to decide what your own children read. But when you also appoint yourself the arbiter of what everyone else's children can read, you are going too far. If you don't want your child to read the book, don't let them check it out of the library. But supporting book burning because of your own preferences is unacceptable.

What's wrong about it is that you want to dictate what everyone besides your own kid can read. Focus on your own kid and leave the rest alone. You don't get to decide what is appropriate or not for my kid.

No you all are going a lot further. You want to destroy the books. Next you will kill authors of books you deem degenerate. Where are you going yo put the concentration camps?

I don't support throwing books in a fire. However, you should try to aim higher for your kids than to assume that they are going to encounter sexual abuse, drug addiction and prostitution as teenagers. Try to focus on providing a better life for your kids.

Yeah see the thing about “my preferences” is it happens to be the “preference” protected under federal law. This book - being distributed to minors - is a federal crime. And should be treated as such. https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/obscenity

Well just because you think it is is obscenity does not make it so under the law. Hate to see what you think of the Bible.

Don’t read the Old Testament or Shakespeare. Burn all the books.
