In a local paper they had an article about how at a high school graduation one of the ladies graduating handed the superintendent a book that was on the “banned list”. I was glad to see so many in the comments point out that if she was able to get the book then it isn’t banned.
Pointing this out to people is as useless as trying to debunk the police shooting narrative to a true believer. I had a cousin that got mad at me because he was talking about Florida banning books and I simply pointed out all the books listed were available to order on Amazon. Why people don’t understand that a public library or public school not carrying a book is banning it. By all means, start your own bookstore or public library
If they cared about the truth, they wouldn't be leftists.
"There is no truth but power" and "words are power." They don't think that any objective truth exists and think that words only exist as a way to manipulate people into doing their will.
There is no coexistence with these people.
I agree. This is the energy we need
i hesitate to even give them the status of human.
man is a thinking animal, and their entire ideology discourages thinking.
If you can buy it, it's not banned. It was just removed from the elementary school library because it's gay porn written by a child molester.
If you want to buy a copy of that filth, be my guest. You want to read it to your own kids, well if you even consider it you're probably molesting them anyway.
But that isn't good enough for leftoids. They demand to use your tax money to fund perversion targeting single digit age children.
They won't stop until someone puts a stop to them.
I really hate the “I’m entitled to something paid for by someone else mentality”
...There was also the one by the woman who still doesn't realize she was a victim of abusive neglect... I forget the title, but she was literally pulled to the side by a teacher as a kid and told she smelled because her hygiene was so poor.
I'll use an older book as an analogy; I've no problem with *A Child called It" being available to adults, but it shouldn't be in an elementary school library...
That's an injustice because the Second Amendment says "keep and bear". You can't bear a weapon you aren't allowed to buy ammo for.
There is no Amendment that deals with giving porn to minors, and the Founders would shoot you themselves if you suggested it falls under free expression.
No you were trying to compare apples and oranges. No one is increasing the cost of the groomer books artificially. There aren't hoops to jump through to go get one. And you don't end up on a federal list for owning it, although you certainly should.
Child grooming not being subsidized by taxpayer money isn't some kind of poll tax. There is no right to taxpayer funding.
There is a right to own both firearms and ammunition. Restrictions against those are unconstitutional on their face.
You have a valid semantic point: things can be de facto banned without being explicitly banned.
However, curating what's shelved in a publicly-funded children's school when it's readily available everywhere else is nowhere near that line. Which makes this point a tangent at best.
Ask them about books that have been effectively banned and watch them say that it's ok in those cases. There's a banned books subreddit that won't let people submit any books that are some manner of istaphobic.
The banned book debate is 100% friend vs foe. If it’s leftist propaganda, it must be permitted.
Did they say what the banned book was?
Handmaid’s Tale. I’ve had people tell me it’s a great show but never bothered to watch or read it
The author originally wrote it when the Ayatollahs took over Iran, and no one cared or took the contract for the book. Reagan got elected, she started shopping it around as "ThIs Is ThE fUtUrE oF rIgHt WiNg AmErIkKkA!!!!!1" and it started a contract bidding war and became a best seller.
That’s okay. Under Trump you had tons of retards insisting “this is the current state of right wing America!” I’m still not clear on what rights they were stripped of during that time, but to listen to a liberal woman she was already chattel.
They believe not being able to systematically murder their own children is tyranny.
“being forced to deal with the consequences of letting a rando raw dog me and bust inside is the same as being sold into sexual slavery where I’m forced to be bred with a rich, powerful man and bear his children”
There is a funny meme floating around comparing it to 50 shades of grey as far as how hot and bothered lib women seem to get by the prospect of being bred out by rich and powerful men. As simian said: I can't think of one right women suddenly didn't have during Trump's presidency so the "mentally ill perverts" explanation makes more sense.
Since I love reading I considered getting it but decided not to
Don't bother, it's basically a schlik-fic for a certain type of woman.
I heard, the book is sexist garbage as it contains one line at the end that falsely suggests men are inherently sexist.
Margaret Atwood is, uh... a little bit weird.
I read 'Surfacing' done by her for a book club. Interesting stuff. Apparently, the entire lesson was 'Don't run away to the city to be sexually abused by an older man and bullied into an abortion or else you'll end up an insane feral woman lurking in the woods'.
As funny as the entire meme of 'Handmaiden's Tale' being a sexual fantasy book, I wonder, sometimes.
Women's fiction is always, 100% projection of things they have done or want to do. Case in point, a female teacher wrote a book about a female teacher who abused preteen boys... and then it came out that she may have been abusing preteen boys.
What about a play where a powerful man abuses his employees written by a woman who was a personal assistant to a powerful man who sexually abused women? Would that count?
#thattoo
it's just the author's barely disguised fetish
Of course it was some feminist scree.
Oh sweet, she gave him a copy of Mein Kampf?
The funny thing about Mein Kampf is that is almost impossible to read to begin with. I can’t imagine what Hitler’s rough draft would have been like before Stempfle edited it. It’s the equivalent of compiling all of a chronic internet users YouTube and Reddit comments into a single rambling book. Even during the Nazis rule it was considered Germany’s best selling book no one actually read.
Ha! No, Handmaiden’s Tale
If it was one of those groomer books with explicit depictions of degenerate sexual acts, the Superintendent should file a police report for sexual harassment.
After all, woke school boards wanted parents to stop reading "obscene material" at board meetings. The obsceme material being the pedo groomer shit the woke introduced into schools.
It was Handmaid’s Tale
The sheer stupidity of it is that leftists actually do ban books, often at the publishing and distribution levels.
And even further, they're extending and shoving censorship onto web hosts, domain names, and infrastructure.
"Irreparable Damage."?
If they're not just straight up rewriting them. Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl have both been victims of having their work edited to "eliminate outdated cultural perceptions".
The rights so-called "censorship" has always been simple time and place restrictions- this book isn't appropriate here and for this audience- and only in circumstances where the book is being provided at government expense.
The left, on the other hand, wants to simply erase works that it doesn't like from existence.
Don't forget that in the EU, UK, and every other country outside the US that proglodytes are active, plenty of books are literally outlawed, and the only reason why they've not managed to do that in the US is because of the 1A. So instead they use various other avenues, like the three-letter agencies, academia, the big banks and credit card companies, payment processors, big tech companies, publishers, and all the other stunning and brave members of The Resistance™, always ready to suppress books they hate.
Are these people legitimately this retarded, or is this an especially brazen and perverse humiliation ritual?
So dumb. It's banned at the schools not nationally.
Your post is retarded.
Let me check again....no he didn't say that at all you fucking moron, I can read sorry kid.
Make that make sense idiot 🤣
No...make it not dumb and make sense dummy.
Doesn't change how retarded your post is.
Coping so hard you have to make up ridiculous shit 🤣.
I guess you were forced to reply as well lol
You can't make up how fucking stupid people are on here.
Durr durr banned books in Florida schools aren't actually banned...only in Florida schools though durrrrr.
Actual retard clown 🤡
Agree and amplify. Schools shouldn't ban those books. They should also have multiple copies of Mein Kampf, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the March 1982 issue of Playboy, and the anarchist's cookbook. Regardless of what their counter argument is, just insist that you agree with their initial one.
What is special about that playboy issue?
Nothing in particular, I picked one at random because "muh unrealistic beauty standards."
Ohh. I assumed playboy went the way of overnight Cinemax since porn is so easy to get. I do remember hearing playboy touting their first “trans woman”. So they have the same moronic marketing as the swimsuit issue
You assumed correct. Or more precisely, the daughter of Heffner who took over the company is a liberal feminist who didn't like all that "objectification of women" so she destroyed the brand. Porn being easy to get certainly didn't help though. Hoisted by their own petards.
I was curious. They'd be torn on that one. The cover model was Nicaragua-American (the lady assassin from Never Say Never Again) which is inclusion points. But she was smoking which seems to be only vice that the left hates.
But one of the cover stories was also: "Finally, a sensible article about guns." But in the early 80s I don't know which way that's going to swing.
