[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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] You know why people are objecting to the manner in which she chose to do this. Even people who disagree with the content. I’ll b so happy we the election is over and the BS gets toned down.. There was time when I was considering voting for Youngkin based on schools. But I can’t if it means education turns into a Trumpy shock and awe mess. [/quote] Exactly. There are plenty of ways to ways to address sincere concerns about FCPS books/materials that don’t involve political stunts. Or don’t involve astroturfers like Asra pushing hysterics. [/quote] I assume that you are equally opposed to political stunts by those whose viewpoints you support? Or it is a one-way street.? Agree or disagree, school board meetings are a public forum. There is broad First Amendment protection. People can and should bring up any issue that it is important to them.[/quote] Agreed. Folks claiming astroturfing, "tantrums", and inserting politics are deflecting and distracting, as they know it's a losing battle. I presume that most other folks are like me, a concerned parent who believes that this content is not appropriate for school libraries. FWIW, and as stated repeatedly by others, most parents would be equally upset if the same content was hetero. But, again, if you can't defend, attack and distract...[/quote] Why are you "concerned" about this particular content vs. all of the rest of mature content in FCPS libraries? I don't see any of these parents here [i]actually[/i] upset about the similarly-mature hetero content. Where are all of the other tweets and complaints to librarians/principals? You [u]choose[/u] ignorance about mature content until someone honks the GOP concern horn. It's 100% faux concern. [/quote]
