Seriously with the book banning ?

The reason the US led the world in the 20th Century was the public education system. But since the 1950's there has been a banging of the drum to dismantle public education, defunding the Dept of Education nationally, installing vouchers to use public money for religious schools, charters given to masked religious schools, the CRT bogeyman to scare suburban whites, etc.

It is ongoing and it is successful.

Sweetie, that ship sailed a long time ago

Dept of Education was not established until around 1980

So? Before that it was part of the Department of Health, Education & Welfare.

Which titles do you think are “porn” and have “questionable sexual content”? Titles, not a wave of the christofascist hand.

Dp. Gender Queer and This Book is Gay are two that come to mind.

And these are at your local library?

They are in school libraries. Hence the uproar.

No, sweetcheeks, we’re talking about public libraries now.

Such a sweet rosy view based in utter ignorance.

Any evidence of these books being available to young children, or contain "porn"? Both books are written for teens and young adults that are at least high school age. If you're objecting to that, then I'm guessing you are the type that preaches for abstinence-only sex education.

You’d guess wrong. I’m all for factual sex education. These books are not that.

Wrong. For many LGBTQ+ young adults, This Book is Gay has been considered a factual guide on sex education for their community.

What’s the purpose of depicting anal sex to children? Are we afraid of the children putting the wrong thing in the wrong place after school?

I can't wait to hear the MAGA defense of this one. Starting to feel like the actual Taliban have nothing on our American extremists. When do you nuts start passing out burqas and forbidding women and black people from learning to read altogether?

By children so you mean 16, 17, 18 year olds?

Why are SOME Americans so prudish. It is a small minority that is imposing their views and opinions on the rest of us.

It was only a few years ago, and really ongoing, that the left was seeking to 'decolonize' the curriculum.

Yes, but it was additive and not reductive. Add more voices, not take the classics away.
