Maybe it’s a winning strategy, maybe it’s not.

I encourage democrats, particularly the woke crowd, to keep telling other people that they are too stupid to run their own lives and make decisions for themselves: and their families...that never ends well for the lecturing class

You can always listen to josh

Hawley: "As conservatives, we've got to call men back to responsibility. We've got to say that spending your time not working...spending your time on video games, spending your time watching porn online...is not good for you, your family or this country."

don’t know whether or not there’s sexually explicit books in kids schools there. neither do you.

What happened Jim you seem pretty sure that’s what’s happening

Wow it’s amazing in how deep your rabbit hole goes

I checked out both books in question. There is some graphic content but it's nothing a teenager would get scarred by, hell, consider what they can see online even with content filters.

The more important thing is these books deal with LGBT issues as the authors discuss the challenges they had coming of age. That is the real reason they want the books banned...to de-legitimize LGBT people.

you read both books?

my 8th grader read a book where a girl told her friend, she desperately wanted her boyfriend to eat her p*ssy. she shaved, so that he wouldn’t get hair in his teeth. not exactly “it’s a far far better thing that i do, than i have ever done”, but maybe it has a certain flair to it.

my son wasn’t scarred in the least. But that doesn’t mean it belongs in a public school. there are plenty of terrific books out there that don’t have x-rated pages within them.

this isn’t rocket science. and it’s only divisive because your side can never, ever, under any circumstances, concede that the right can be correct in anything. You’re not confident enough in your beliefs to admit that both sides can have good ideas . you’re all so desperately clinging to an ideology that’s becoming exponentially weirder and more extreme by the day, that any and all dissent must be dismisses as lunacy.

no one said kids are permanently scarred by this crap. just that there are far better books kids can read.

but you can’t respond to that, because it’s too logical and obvious.

“that’s the real reason they want books banned.”. right, because you’re so good at understanding the motives behind those with whom you disagree.
