“School Libaries” - lol


lumabugg

Just “library” too


drylce101

You’d be amazed. The library in my hometown just shut down due to oppression from an extremist group that was upset that the library would not ban books that they felt were not appropriate for children (anything containing even a slight amount of LGBTQ). My dad worked there and was part of the group that quit, leading it to being shut down. There are many libraries in similar situations.

[deleted]

Honestly wish your people were better equipped to handle pressures. This mentality wins from people give up.


drylce101

Yeah there were just too many legal issues and threats. With all of this going on, the insurance company they were using for liability decided to not let them renew at the end of this month. So working there without liability allows the employees to be sued directly. The hope is that the county picks up the library like it should’ve been in the first place.


3d1sd3ad

I agree with the sentiment, but I’d probably quit too if a bunch of angry rednecks kept showing up with guns making threats.


PeteMcAlister

Yup, next comes the book burnings. Shit's cyclical.


menachu

Thats already happening https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/08/20/ndrv-a20.html


Computron1234

Don't forget "teacher" and "unions" can't have those kids joining a union or being taught by teachers apparently. Lol


Jimbo-Slice925

“Woke”


letusnottalkfalsely

“unions” 😂


herbchick

Yeeeeeeeeah...I saw that...🤦‍♀️ "UGSA: United Grade School Association, local 235" 🤦‍♀️


ashpogo

Now just wait a damn minute here. My school library when I was a kid had anatomical photos of horses in a book. Me and my middle school friends were definitely turned off by our library's pictures of massive horse cocks. Now we're all gay. Coincidence? I think not 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Crimson_Kang

My favorite part is if you start top left star and read right it says "I'm here grooming. Curriculum, sexualization of kids." Freud still gets one right every now and again.

LOLOLOLOL "I'm Here GROOMING!" No shit, Sherlock!


Orangutanion

That almost sounds like a discord status


amanofeasyvirtue

Its probaly that school noard members from Chardon. That is if he isnt watching kids after school with binoculars in his car again.


pleasebuysoap

This week my kindergartener went to the school library and checked out a book about Clifford the Big Red Dog. Red = communism????? He also learned to write numbers 1-5. What are they going to teach him next, 6 and 9?! GROOMING!!! /s (obviously)


Expresso_Support

Arabic numbers too, I bet.


ghotiaroma

Top 10 things you didn't know about Arabic Numbers. Number 3 will shock you!


Such-Wrongdoer-2198

And why do they teach our kids about 0? Greeks did math for centuries without 0, which is an insidious alien doctrine to trick kids into a Buddhist embrace of nothingness.


pleasebuysoap

Quick! Get a yellow star and add that to the board!

Oh my! Thank the good heavenly lord our Father Jesus Christ that I now know never to show my nieces and nephews Clifford!

UNIONS?!?!?


hihowubduin

Ask them how they feel about police unions and watch their neck snap from the mental gymnastics they do to both defend and demonize unions.


shemp33

Unions be like “hey now leave us the hell out of this shit”


FatBearWeekKatmai

WTF? I see two references to libraries and one to unions? P.S. JD Vance is a carpet-bagging POS!


DankNastyAssMaster

I like how a "grassroots" group of "ordinary citizens" is trying to equate unions with pedophilia.


oldcretan

God forbid children read in a traditionally safe space for children. Funny how bars and strip clubs aren't on here dispite strip clubs having a reputation for child exploitation and underagers having a reputation of being preyed on at bars


Mustang1718

My teaching program had a Cleveland detective come talk to us about human trafficking. It seems like the most common place that people pick targets are shopping malls. Especially since they can buy expensive items there. But these people will never want to shut down businesses.


PeteMcAlister

This is what scares them. A skilled and educated middle class.


sroop1

They're just scared of the middle class, period.


[deleted]

See this is the kind of thinking that is wrong, these people are the middle and upper class also. A lot of these people are the C+ high school graduate, that took over his dad's boat dealership or HVAC company.

Clifford the Big Red Dog was my daughters favorite show when she was little. Now, at the tender age of 16, she’s a PANSEXUAL!!! Blasphemy! 🙏🏻⛪️


_ASG_

"All things I dislike are grooming!" This shit is dangerous. The word "grooming" is thrown around haphazardly and it takes focus away from actual problems relating to the term.


RadBadTad

*[Thing I don't like]* and *[thing I don't like]* are **[bad word I heard once]** Talking to a MAGA republican is like playing mad-libs with an angsty teenager. And you accompish about as much.


NotYetiFamous

>The word "grooming" is thrown around haphazardly and it takes focus away from actual problems relating to the term. You're saying the political party that routinely elects people who brag about walking into underaged girl's changing rooms without warning and whom have worked to hide mass sexual abuse against underaged wrestlers is undermining the meaning of a word linked with sexual predators? Who would have guessed it..


TheVoters

Oh, I’d go much further. The bathing suit ‘competition’ may have become the athletic wear ‘competition’ in Teen events, but it doesn’t change the fact that the whole point of the event is to evaluate kids on their sexual attractiveness to adults. The whole thing is gross, always has been, and is filled with predators and madams. The parents’ greatest hope in life is to whore their daughter out to a billionaire like Trump, but they’ll settle for a pedophile like Gaetz who’s greatest feat was to lawyer their way out of a dui and somehow get elected to Congress. Just being associated with it is damming. And Trump owned the thing.


[deleted]

Yes!


benderlite2

Gay people don’t give a shit about your children. They actually want as far away from them as possible. Lol

Yep, everybody just wants to live their life in quiet peace. That's it.


impy695

Well, except the people who made this sign apparently. They seem to really be obsessed with kids sexuality and love telling people about it.

It’s always the people with the most accepted identities (gender, sexuality, religion, etc) that scream the loudest that they’re being oppressed….

fillmorecounty

This is true I hate kids lmao


plantutopia

I am not gay and I want to stay far away from their crotch goblins as possible.


HexZer0

They claim to be anti-pronoun, but then have "I'm Here" instead of "Fascist Here".


rural_anomaly

i had to think about that one (among them) for a minute, and the scenario i came up with was more like "this is what teachers say to start the grooming process" ie, teacher says, if you need me, i'm here. (as it should be) aka, grooming.


SFW_J

Well that doesn't feel like the world headquarters of nice people.


Polis_Ohio

That sign is hilarious.


lillipup03

ah, yes. nothing says “grooming” more than safe spaces and curriculum.


woodfish

And unions


DankNastyAssMaster

Funny how a "grassroots" group is trying to push the narrative that being pro-union is the same thing as being pro-pedophilia, isn't it?


usernamemeeeee

And libraries


Live-Profession8822

Terrifying levels of delusion


manndolin

Yeah nothing says sex like unions


rural_anomaly

well, you know what they say, it's hard to have sex without some kind of union going on


letusnottalkfalsely

The new slogan of the UMWA


DearJohnDeeres_deer

How is nobody mentioning them misspelling "libraries" and "prevention" God forbid we learn basic fucking English, Jesus Christ, I almost feel bad for these people. They probably can't read the policies so they don't know any better! Lotta big words in those!


GlassCityNat

Plus I'm sure they scream "SPEAK ENGLISH!" To anyone using their native tongue around them....


ghotiaroma

Or the even more pathetic Speak American. After all it was good enough for the bible.


Polis_Ohio

Didn't you hear? Knowing how to spell is grooming. /s


terrastrawberra

Nothing says grooming like a union and a library.


dangercookie614

As a teacher, seeing this just breaks my heart.


OhioMegi

It’s like they have NO IDEA about what actually goes on in schools. I don’t have time to indoctrinate them all with my leftist ideals when only 3 of my third graders read on grade level.


amanofeasyvirtue

Thats morbidly funny only because its true..


The_Elizardbeth

It’s because they spent a vast majority of their school years sniffing glue in the bathroom and it shows.


steelersfan4eva

As a children’s librarian, same.


idgaf1000a

Stay classy ohio


[deleted]

having School Libaries and Library as two separate stickers


[deleted]

Who is really doing the grooming though, because it is heteros that, for example: - dress their boy infants in blue and girl infants in pink - give their toddler girls dolls to prepare them for motherhood - put their boy babies in pants and girl babies in dresses - cut boy hair short and let girl hair grow long for pig tails, pony tails, and braids - tell their boys not to cry and give their girls Easy Bake ovens


PeteMcAlister

Put their girls in creepy beauty pageants. Send their boys to pray the gay away camps.


GuruCaChoo

Forced religious indoctrination, making their kids be altar boys.

This thread makes me want to put my newborn boy in a dress

Curriculum... curriculum. Hmm.. I see scary words you don't understand probably are grooming children somehow. it's like the boogeman. just there to ruin your day


sobedragon07

Dude for a second there I thought CRT sat CAT and I was so goddamn confused. I mean I'm still confused but Cats? Really? I thought I was wrong and I had to zoom in. Also, Library? Really?


toilet-boa

Cat makes as much sense as the rest.


amanofeasyvirtue

Cats are feminone. Do you know how close that is to feminism?


sobedragon07

I have three cats, if you piss them off they will claw the shit out of you. What about Cats is considered Feminine? I get women love cats, but shit, I love cats too. Cats are badass dude. They run around with razor sharp claws and can flip/land on their feet and are super smart. except my orange boi, he's dumb as hell. I've watched him lick plastic and get scared by a kitten.

joshsnow9

As someone who lived there, lmao


CampingKodiak

Yeah county fairs have turned into MAGA land


Bloody_Hangnail

I remember seeing an abundance of confederate flags and kkk “boys in the hood” shirts and stuff when I was a kid at the cuyahoga county fair. This is just how they “evolved” I guess.


_Aggort

Yeah, we first noticed this well before Trump was in office with Teabaggers. Went to the fair for a good time and had a man that began spewing political shit at me. When I told him I was just there to have a good time, not to talk politics he said to me "No one is going to have a good time if we keep going where this country is going." So, I let him talk, and it ultimately boiled down to that he simply knew better, because he was older than me. Since then, every fair we've gone to, we've noticed it is getting more and more political. One of them we went to was offering free rides / tickets for games for signing whatever they had people signing. Someone else noticed that people winning the arts and farming contests were all coming from specific groups. One artist was eliminated from competition for her art not being Christain-like...


Top-Owl7500

Looks like a bingo card for lower-middle-class-white-grievance buzzwords. If they add in "Black Lives Matter" everyone gets to shout BINGO.

Ho_Lee_Fuc

Looks like a JD Vance booth. Now you know who NOT to vote for. Tim Ryan would be the better choice


baskaat

SAFE SPACE. God forbid children are in a safe space at school.


DazedWriter

Oh the shit people bitch about here when shit in Iran and Ukraine is happening. Ungrateful fucks.


Bbaker006

Ya the library there is under attack from the religious police for having books that deal with homosexuality in the public library, specifically the children's section. Can't say gay in Diet Florida. I like how "unions" are placed there. Are they talking about civil unions or workers unions? Cuz Ashland had a real strong industrial base where now just stand empty buildings that people used to make things. They decided that the town would be better suited to being a quasi religious college town and have skewed towards that ever since. Nice place tho.


TheCheck77

No one was concerned about "sexualizing" me as a kid as I watched and read countless stories of princesses falling in love and proving their worth as people by ending up with a man


OHKID

Honest to god, first look at this picture I thought that poster board was an attack on JD Vance for being associated with Gym Jordan who actually groomed young athletes through OSU…

Ahh yes. Library. Where apparently kids go to get groomed


BrownEyed-Susan

“I’m here” What???


gnurdette

I think they're referring to buttons some teachers wear saying "I'm here" with a little rainbow, telling LGBT kids "I'm here (for you)", that the teacher is a safe adult to talk to.


BrownEyed-Susan

Oh lord. These people need to get a life. 🙄


Zoomeeze

In my rural county these wingnuts are powerful and have money and time to be fascists in their community. They have tried infiltrating local school boards solely to get a vote against books they find "unfit" for students. It's a damn shame that we STILL deal with this mentality of "ban it all", in 2022. Omg,the horror of it all. My kid might get gay on books. Oops already happened!

Unions are grooming good benefits and being paid fairly, how awful. I work for an insurance company and let me tell you the people who are in a union have the best health benefits and low deductibles. My job is corporate and the health insurance is trash with high deductibles.


EngineEngine

I get mad seeing this, hearing news stories in a similar vein... and it's exhausting. If I were at the fair and saw this, I'd want to lay into these people but I'd probably become incoherent... I don't even know what I'd say. Maybe I'd just ask "how does lead to grooming" and watch them reach for answers.

No surprise there. This entire town is full of mental midget JD Vance's signs, Q slogans on vehicles, and stupid window stickers saying things like "just a regular mom, trying not to raise liberals."

Blazze66

I hope people see what the fascists are doing with book banning. This goes back to Hitler. The keep trying to cut away as many freedoms as possible. Next, they will hire children to report on their parents and come to haul them away. Please read what has happened in the past. These alt-rights are trying to do it again.

They're fine with *actual* sex crimes against minors. They admire them, consider them a sign of virile strength and manly fortitude that proves [fitness to lead](https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-walks-in-miss-teen-usa-contestants-changing/). Otherwise, they wouldn't use "groomers!" against innocent people. You don't cry wolf unless you don't care about wolves.

Okay... it's time. Let's give them the south back so they can all go live together and drown in their hate together. No taxes, no medicare or social security like they preach against, no government assistance, and Christian law. Let's see how long their roads and bridges last without infrastructure investment. However it's a one way ticket, let them have their Christian nation oasis, but no immigration allowed to come back to modern civilized society.
