Imagine standing up and saying, "Yes, I support banning books."

Imagine standing up and saying, “Yes, I support exposing children to anal sex.”

Why are you so fixated on anal sex?

From a child’s perspective, how is that any more alarming to learn about than vaginal sex?

Both forms of sex are normal and perfectly acceptable in our society.

Isn’t that obvious?

PP seems to be especially worried about non-procreative activities.

Exactly. That’s the problem with putting books like Gender Queer and This Book is Gay in school libraries. If parents can’t trust their schools to keep this material out of their schools, they will ask their lawmakers to do it. And that creates bad law. It shouldn’t be happening, but the people defending this material have created the opening.

Alternatively, the problem is people who believe that libraries should only contain books that they, personally, approve of. And if libraries contain books that they disapprove of, they will stop their feet and pitch fits and disrupt meetings and demand that libraries be transformed to reflect their personal opinions, or if not, be shut down.

I, personally, can't stand books by John Steinbeck, but I'm not asking libraries to remove Steinbeck books from the shelves, and I'm certainly not asking lawmakers to require libraries to do so.

Communities have standards. We live in a diverse community with families from a varied background of ethnicities and religions. Many parents don’t want this content present in the school libraries. Parents who wish their children to have access to these books can provide them directly.

Exactly. Parents who don't wish their children to have access to these books can tell their children not to access them.

+1

My kids avoid the books about bacon.

^^^which does raise the question about whether PP supports education about contraception & birth control in schools.

All community standards are oriented around inclusiveness and full information.

Which is great.

Agreed. I support free speech but I don’t support the government providing sexually explicit material to children.

"I support free speech but" = "I don't support free speech"

I suggest you educate yourself. I support protected speech as currently defined by the Supreme Court which includes many exceptions including threats, defamation, selling state secrets, and obscenity.

I do. Why are you so afraid of it?

Would you also ban screenings of “Roots” in school?

How about Toni Morrison books?

No, I don’t support the government providing Toni Morrison books to kindergartners for many reasons.

I have not seen roots so I won’t comment but I have no issues based on the summary.

You people are really naive about the motivations of people who seek to normalize exposing children to sexual content.

Truthfully, at what age are these books appropriate for YOUR children?

We aren’t talking about “porno books” so your comment is irrelevant.

DP. Yes you are if you are referring to DeSantis. I was shocked when I watched that press conference. It was vile what was in those “children’s books.”

You really should watch it before you decide.

You don't get to tell me what books my kids can read in school

Shut the hell up.

NO nothing in those banned books is wrong absolutely nothing.

NAZI'S BAN BOOKS.

Totally agree. Anyone who doesn’t support the government providing any book to students is a NAZI. My second grader MUST have the ability to read books like American Psycho and Fifty Shades of Grey ant school. And anyone who thinks otherwise is a NAZI who hates free speech. Sad.

They don't believe in any limits because their goal is to "normalize" their own sexual practices among children and think there's no age too early for exposing kids to all the explicit details.

Really? You oppose schools (not “the government”) giving Toni Morrison books to kindergartners? Heck, if a kindergartner could read and understand any Toni Morrison book that would make him a phenom.

I meant, as you knew full well, I was talking about its presence in secondary school curricula— notably AP courses— that flared as controversial when Youngkin was running. Some of those books contain — gasp — sexual situations. Should high school students be protected from it?

Roots is just straight-up woke CRT stuff. Divisive as hell since it makes white people feel guilty about slavery. Must be banned, right? Can’t make white children uncomfortable.

Can you read? I said that I would likely support “roots” in schools.

Sorry, I’m not going to engage with someone who disagrees with the factual statement that public schools (which I fully support) are part of the state.
