Why is it only the parents know of theses books , but seems none of their kids were forced to read them or ever read them .. seems the mortality police are back in business.. like they have in India or Islamic religious police and now the Christian Right are leading the GOP Culture’s Morality Police….

Here’s the list to the 850 books Texas looks to ban You might notice some common themes. It includes several books with "Black Lives Matter" in the title, and several others critical of policing. Multiple nonfiction books and memoirs on LGBTQIA+ lives and history, as well as books on how we categorize and assess gender. They're even targeting a book about the history of the man who invented Wonder Woman (because he was a polyamorous feminist into S&M and also invented the polygraph)! Pretty much every book with "Roe v Wade" in the title is on there as well; in fact, that goes all the way back to Michael Crichton's 1969 novel A Case of Need. Hell, there are a bunch of basic teen pregnancy and burgeoning sexuality books on there, too. They've even got Alan Moore's V for Vendetta on there

In addition to his compiled list, Rep. Krause alsoasks the districts to identity any other books or content that may "address or contain" certain topics including:

human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), sexually explicit images, graphic presentations of sexual behavior that is in violation of the law, or contain material that might make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex or convey that a student, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.


Why are conservatives up set over 1 book But willing to make another 850 books disappear
?
If not because of the GOP culture war some how convincing them that they are the only True Americans .. and any other view or idea is a danger to them and those around them? We’ve seen this tru history it never ends well

Irrelevant?
You choose to fall in line on the sky screaming about something that is insignificant in the big picture.
You think that suicide rates among lgbtq youth are what?
Not high enough?

Just pretend they don’t exist and lalalalalalala the problem will go away.

“something that insignificant in the big picture.”

Sure, sure, tell that to all the elected democrats in Va. this was the issue.
it’s got nothing to do with homophobia. i wouldn’t want illustrations of heterosexuals doing 69 either.

i accept them and want them
to thrive. but their intimate acts doesn’t need to be shoved in kids faces for them to feel validated.

That’s the goal, find a straw man, make it an issue, the followers eat it up. Victimhood is easy to sell.

Defund, CRT, late term abortion, voter fraud

Just keep believing

liberals aren’t soft on crime? that’s a gop myth? all those Soros prosecutors who think they’re public defenders??

when the uber liberal mayor of san francisco says “this bullsh*t has to stop”, she’s just regurgitating right wing talking points? she’s got zero legitimate reason to complain?

you keep thinking that.

how about inflation, are conservatives making that all up?

the border? are we actually seeing record high numbers of crossings, or is that a gop myth?

are covid deaths higher in 2021 then in 2020? does it take 2-3 days to get tested now, when a year ago you could get tested the same day you first wanted to?

Ahh Soros
Better watch it the Jewish space laser is up there

Why does American have a shortage of

1. Hospital beds and healthcare providers
2. Daycare centers
3. Metal health and addiction treatment
4. Living wage paying jobs

But has plenty of prisons?

If you have to deploy the military to support hospitals you may have spent your budget on the wrong part of the system given the challenges we actually face.

Meanwhile the 25 wealthiest families added $312 billion to their collective fortunes, a 22% gain since last August.

So, let me get this straight: the people who refuse to get vaccinated, refuse to wear masks, refuse to allow mask mandates in schools, etc., are now blaming President Biden for the Covid surge and claim he has no plan to end it? Really?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

pretty sure there's lot's of masked, vaxed, pro-mandaters blaming biden too:scream:

6 Days Ago New York Shatters Covid Record
5 Days Ago New York Smashed It's Covid Record Again
2 Days Ago New York Breaks Covid Record Again
10 Hours Ago New York Obliterates Single -Day Covid Case Record

what comes after "obliterates"?

hey pete, I think your "highly vaccinated" state is obliterating records

my "highly vaccinated" state is as well

I know, I know...but Florida

we can certainly blame biden, he wanted the job and he promised to get covid under control..repeatedly......he's fu$%ing everything up pretty good

maybe he should send out a bunch of rapid tests that won't/don't work...that would be perfectly bidenesque

NYTimes Will Shortened Isolation Periods Spread the Virus?
Without rapid testing, some experts fear new U.S. guidelines may mean infected people leave isolation while still contagious

“To me, this feels honestly more about economics than about the science,” said Yonatan Grad, an associate professor of immunology and infectious diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

“I suspect what it will do is result in at least some people emerging from isolation more quickly, and so there’ll be more opportunities for transmission and that of course will accelerate the spread of Covid-19,” he added, noting that people were unlikely to adhere strictly to masking advice after leaving isolation.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but contracting Covid despite being fully vaccinated is no shame. It’s like getting hit by another car while driving…but you were wearing your seat belt and weren’t badly injured. You were smart. You saved your own and others’ lives.
Oh that’s right some people don’t wear those either because “freedom”

no, it's like you didn't wear your mask or wash your hands...

Giving them porn will probably help

i’m fine for making sure those kids feel safe in school. but that has nothing to do with stocking the shelves with pornography. i want those people to have rich lives, but i don’t want to see disgusting pictures of their intimate acts. that’s for them
to do in private, not in public.

this is the dilemma. it’s not enough for liberals that those people are tolerated. we’re all supposed to go to their parades and hold
signs and stare at their pornography. we’re supposed to abandon our deeply held religious beliefs and participate in their intimacy. .

no thanks. this is why bedrooms have doors.

funny, pete and spence didn’t complain a syllable when obama
and hilary said they were adamantly opposed to gay marriage for religious reasons. but when conservatives say the same exact thing, then it’s bigotry.

February 8, 2022

Parents in Enfield, Conn. are outraged after a health class assignment asked eighth graders to list their sexual likes and dislikes and boundaries, according to a new report.

Documents obtained by the nonprofit group Parents Defending Education show students were subjected to a lesson called “Pizza & Consent” that told students, “we can use pizza as a metaphor for sex!“If you’re a vegetarian, but your friend is a meat-lover, sharing a pizza is going to bring up a lot of issues. You don’t know who you can share pizza with unless you ask!” the assignment said. “The same goes with sex! You have to check in with your partner(s) and ask for their preferences.”

The assignment features a blank pizza with space to share pizza preferences “in relation to sex.” Pizza toppings were likened to sexual likes and dislikes. The assignment used “kissing” and “giving oral” as examples of toppings students could choose for their pizza.

i heard.

“Jim, why are your three kids in catholic school?”

Florida school district "may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students." The bill doesn't specify how "age-appropriate" and "developmentally appropriate" would be defined.

The bills would also give parents the ability to sue schools if they believed the schools violated any provisions of the law.

Parents Defending Education

Parents Defending Education is a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists promoting harmful agendas. Through network and coalition building, investigative reporting, litigation, and engagement on local, state, and national policies, we are fighting indoctrination in the classroom -- and for the restoration of a healthy, non-political education for our kids.

Scott and Jim you 2 will support anything without a 2nd look

Seems as with most conservatives the only acceptable form of indoctrination

is their vision and harmful agendas.


Just another culture war non profit hiding as a legitimate organization

Koch Connections and Sham Grassroots of Parents Defending Education

Mercedes Schneider has figured out the grassroots angle in Parents Defending Education: Prefab “Grassroots”—PDE needs local connections to claim standing in law suits to chill the free speech of any educator who questions white supremacy. Peter Greene minces no words in Parents Defending Education: Astroturf Goes Hard Right:

PDE is particularly odious because of its whole “turn in any teacher or school that offends you” approach to chilling conversation and teaching. This is not just astrotyurf (sic), but astroturf with its brown shirt on.
