[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone on dcum know someone personally impacted by all of this crazy book banning? [/quote]

I’d like to hear from someone who supports these bans to share a story of someone they know who was personally harmed by one of the books banned. [/quote]

Interesting that no one could give specific example of this. [/quote]

Why does someone have to be “personally harmed” for it to be wrong?  Would you like *your* young children exposed to, say, a religion you don’t practice or political opinions you don’t agree with - while in school??  You’d be the first to be outraged about that.  Such hypocrisy.  Read all the sexual books you want with your kids.  Leave mine out of it.[/quote]

We’re talking about high school. Do you think high schoolers have to be sheltered fromm”sexual content” in the form of a comic book?

I have no problem with my teenagers reading this book.

I have no problem with children learning about different religions at any age. What a weird fear.  [/quote]

NP. Yes, I want my high schooler to be sheltered from sexual content.  That's a parenting decision. You can make a different parenting decision. We can both have what we want by not placing highly sexual content in schools.  [/quote]

Do I also get to take things out of schools I find objectionable? I find the pledge of allegiance objectionable on several levels. Can I have it removed so that not just my but all kids are not exposed to it? Do you agree that’s my right as a parent?[/quote]

The Pledge of Allegiance? Why is that objectionable to you?[/quote]

Because it’s indoctrination. On a superficial level I don’t believe kids should feel pressure to mention god in schools. And I think mindless chants like this are at best silly and at worst too like the indoctrination that took place in authoritarian regimes of the 20th century, both fascist and communist.

Also do you not know any Jehovah’s Witnesses? If your school had a number of families of that faith you ok with them petitioning to get rid of the pledge?[/quote]

DP.  So you consider the Pledge of Allegiance “mindless indoctrination,” but you’re a-ok with books that depict graphic sex acts in our public school libraries.  And you wonder why no one takes you seriously.   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
