And 100% of school libraries do NOT have "hard core" porn. I would speculate that close to 100% of PUBLIC libraries do not have hard core porn, by definition. As a former public library director, we represent our community as a whole, not the narrow views of an autocrat.
@Cara-39
@Cara-39 Місяць тому
My mother was a middle school librarian for 30 yrs and due to budget cuts, was in charge of all libraries in the district, which also included 3 elementary schools, for the last 15 yrs and of course you're right that porn is not part of the inventory, nor is it part of the children's section of public libraries. Book banning idiots like DeSantis love to claim that only "media specialists" should be choosing school library books but that's exactly what those children's librarians are!!! The majority of schools require their librarians to have a Masters in Library Science (my Mom got hers in the 80s when very few schools offered it) and many programs have a concentration in children's literature but these book bans prove their argument of keeping kids safe is just a political stunt, otherwise they wouldn't require the librarians to have the expertise they do. I remember my Mom getting the ALA's annual "top banned books of the year" newsletter so I know book bans are nothing new but the rise of the far-right in the last decade has pushed them into high gear. On another note, as a life long lover of libraries (say that 5x fast 😂), whose library cards are prized possessions, I'm surprised your public library had porn. I live in Manhattan and the NY Public Library is my home away from home but I don't think I've ever seen any there or any other public library I've ever been to...not that I've ever looked so maybe its just escaped my notice.

Also, you're forgetting the big one here: his campaign is sputtering out and dying before it even started. I always felt this piece about him was pretty alarmist for no reason because I could see right through DeSantis. He's a swaggerless, awkward, petty loser with the charisma of a 2 week old bowl of cottage cheese. Ron NEVER had the charisma of Trump or the authoritative demeanor of previous GOP stalwarts like Romney or McCain. He just thinks that if you're MORE of an asshole like Trump then you'll be a shoe-in but he failed to realize Trump sold his bullshit because he is at least charming to an extent to pull it off. DeSantis has no sense of humor or humility and his need to constantly be in a bubble where he's never uncomfortable and lets his wife make every choice for him sealed his fate. This guy won't even make it to Super Tuesday.

Several school districts have outright banned any books with black protagonists, calling them woke. NPR did an interview with one of the authors who attested that the book had no objectionable content. It was about a black kid going to school, having a happy time, and going back to his happy home and loving family. The author wanted positive, happy books for a black audience and that not every book with black heroes had to be about struggle or historical trauma. The NPR interviewer and the author came to the conclusion that the book was banned for being "woke" simply by having a black protagonist. That same story is repeated for other heroes of different ethnicity, religions, and LGBT characters. We are facing academic erasure.

As a teacher in Escambia county, where we banned the penguin book, I'm disappointed at how our constituents act. I'm disappointed that ignorant parents and, mostly, ONE old white woman (I have read the pull requests, her name is on 95% of them) are holding such power over teachers here. We are underpaid and overworked, yet parents are demanding more and more from us, all while removing their own accountability for their children from the equation. I think you should consider doing a special on education in general to promote awareness and hopefully spur a renewed interest in the profession. It's not an easy job but having an impact on young people is one of the most rewarding things people can do for one another and we are seeing a decline in the desire to teach - look at all the teacher shortages.

Too many adults that think the kids aren't thinking about sex until they're like 10 or 12 or some ridiculous advanced age instead of much much younger which is the reality of humanity. People think that if they don't mention sexuality to their kids then their kids don't have questions or knowledge of the subject and that somehow makes kids safer to keep them very limited intellectually. Do you not remember which were the kids that got pregnant in high school and which were the kids that were less likely to get pregnant or get someone pregnant in high school?

Because the policies conservatives push are designed to reinforce the existing social and economic hierarchies. That's literally the whole thing conservatives want to conserve. They see the government not as one potential means of improving quality of living but as a necessary tool of enforcing order. Their posturing about "individual freedoms" has never been true unless you read it as "freedoms of certain specific types of individuals (specifically, the ones at the top of current hierarchies)". The left-right divide has always been between supporters of equality/democracy and supporters of the king/establishment.

There is no way to mispronounce “Thai” as “thigh” unless you have a “Thai”-ny penis and also think that “orgasm” is an alternate spelling of “organization.” To summarize: Mr. Florida Governor is an impotent ten-year-old.

Haha this is not at all true. Bibles are not allowed in school in 99 percent of the counties until high school. Which by then they have already had sex ed (reproductive and safe sex practices only) so they've already been introduced to it. But no, you'd rather have the Queer book that's so famous right now with a guy jerking off in his car while driving, than to read a book about a religion, which is freedom of religion.

Oh, and don't forget about all the incest in the Old Testament. Apparently, God twice, started building up the human race through incest. (Yuck!) Adam and Eve's children, supposable only had siblings and parents as potential people, to mate with. Same for the Noah Ark story. All of humanity, except for Noah, his wife, their daughters & their daughter's husbands, where wiped out. Sooooooo, again, only siblings and parents would have been available to mate with, to build up the human race. And Abraham, is considered The Father of All Nations, but he was married to his sister, Sarah! -- Then there is the Religious sanctioned rape! Shocking, but's there. Written down in the Holy Scriptures. --- And what's up with all the God ordered genocide, that's told of In the Old Testament? (Which included murdering the infants as well as all the animals). I believe it's in John 3:16, where it says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, ..." Soooooo, according to scripture, God not only created and loves all people, but He on several occasions, ordered one group of people to comment genocide on another group of people. To me, this in no way sounds like love. And it is the opposite of what Jesus taught. And Jesus is suppose to be the Word of God, made flesh, who walked among mankind. Meaning that when you see how Jesus feels about, and interacted with, people, you're seeing how God feels about, and interacts with, people. Jesus taught the opposite of using violence on your fellow man. Sooooooo, even though I'm on team Jesus, the Christian Bible, with its many examples of incest, violence, rape, etc ..., I believe falls under Meatball Ron's book ban law.
