I literally DGAF about the school board.

I do GAF when GOP astroturfers try to hurt our schools and our kids.

You *legit* don’t like the books? Submit a request for review. Tell your kids not to read them. Don’t spread misinformation (it’s not pedophilia FFS) or throw a tantrum at the school board to get a spot on the RWNJ channels.

It’s intellectually dishonest to play dumb on the GOP’s role here.

So many cliches.  Can you go away for a spell while people try to clean up this mess?  [/quote]

Truth hurts.

I'll be here calling out the astroturfers each and every time.

Repeating an earlier comment:  This can't be an issue about parenting and what is appropriate for the school library. Try to engage, and you'll be attacked.

For the left, EVERY issue is about politics. Politics IS their religion, sadly.  This is you.[/quote]

If it were an issue about parenting, then parents would have brought it up with the librarian or principal. No, it had to be a big public spectacle. A political stunt.

And enough with the intellectual dishonesty. We all know WHY this is being discussed NOW and WHO is pushing it.

I do NOT want politics in school. And I certainly don't want politicians and their lackeys (hello, PDE) hurting our schools for their own personal benefit.

It's all about politics to you.  In reality, though, it's very simple.  A parent uncovered this mess and made it public.  Why?  [b]Because sunlight is the best disinfectant.[/b]  And now concerned parents like me are aware.  You'd rather that such material fly below the radar.  If you're proud of this material and believe it's appropriate, then why do you care if it's existence is made public?[/quote]

Same. I would never have known. I am grateful she brought this to the attention of the school board![/quote]

And yet you've taken no effort to discover other questionable material. Why these two books (written by LGTBQ+) and not any of the other books in the FCPS with mature content?

It's a faux issue because if parents were sincerely concerned about content they'd be reviewing the library catalog and pushing for other books to be reviewed.
