This, my friends, is faux outrage, a common tactic of the left to silence conservatives.  The likelihood of any children attending a school board meeting is infinitesimally small.  And if the content isn't appropriate for a school board meeting, it's not appropriate for the school.[/quote]

Do you actually have kids in FCPS? If you did, you’d realize that many, many families - especially those with young kids - will watch the SB meeting on TV at home.

And context is important. Obviously. Faux obtuse.

Just to be clear then.  You're okay with the content in school library, but not in the school board meeting.  Got it.  'Nuf said.[/quote]

So....do you have a kid in FCPS or not?

Yes.  I wouldn't be posting otherwise.  I appreciate you trying to attach motives though.  Another tactic of the left.[/quote]

You [i]don't[/i] think motives are important? You'd be OK with non-FCPS parents stirring the pot for their own political motives?

If someone is being provocative and simply trolling for entertainment with no value added, then as stated, there's no value added, and we all wish those folks would head elsewhere.  And there is an argument to be made that parents have can add more value based on experience.  However, logic is logic, and if someone want to chime with a thoughtful response, then I'm all for it.

I do find the constant insertion politics and references to Trump / GOP astroturfers a bit annoying, as if that invalidates the argument that such content simply doesn't belong in school libraries.  And I'd say the bulk of such arguments come from the left.  Though, indeed, I've made a couple of comments regarding the left's use of faux outrage and motives to distract from the argument, as that is a tried and true (and unfortunately somewhat effective) tactic from the left.  I'll repeat, if you can't attack the argument, attack the person making the argument.  This is why the go-to argument from the left is to claim "racist" at every opportunity.  Ugh, now I just inserted politics.  [/quote]

As stated multiple times previously, if you have a legit complaint about content there are ways of addressing it that aren’t political stunts.

This thread is about WHY book banners pulled this political stunt. If you want to start a sincere thread on actual books that you’ve actually read and have sincere concerns, please start a new thread.
