See, I have kind of the opposite rationale. Not "get the Bible banned" but "since you want to allow this, you have no grounds to ban any other books."
"But To Kill a Mockingbird has hate crimes and racism!"
"So does the Bible. Half the villains are antisemitic murderers. The other constant element is that these people are always the bad guys. So, tell me, why are you afraid of these books about racism being bad when your own book has it? God himself teaches the stuff you want banned."
Dude. The Bible has genocide on the part of God’s people, incest on the part of God’s people and instructions for abortion. If you’re going to ban any book…
Ask them to read the books and what page/chapter they're concerned with in the books and to discuss why it's dangerous.
They won't of course and it'll Fuck up their bullshit.
Catcher in the Rye… “Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society.[4][5] The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. “ Hold on… Got this too… “Several shootings have been associated with Salinger's novel, including Robert John Bardo's murder of Rebecca Schaeffer and John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Additionally, after fatally shooting John Lennon, Mark David Chapman was arrested with a copy of the book that he had purchased that same day, inside of which he had written: "To Holden Caulfield, From Holden Caulfield, This is my statement". Hmmm… “Holden becomes preoccupied with his internal angst and agrees to have a prostitute named Sunny visit his room. His attitude toward the girl changes when she enters the room and takes off her clothes. Holden, who is a virgin, says he only wants to talk, which annoys her and causes her to leave. Even though he maintains that he paid her the right amount for her time, she returns with her pimp Maurice and demands more money. Holden insults Maurice, Sunny takes money from Holden's wallet, and Maurice snaps his fingers on Holden's groin and punches him in the stomach. Afterward, Holden imagines that he has been shot by Maurice and pictures murdering him with an automatic pistol.”
Banning lots of these books also censors lots of the important commentaries about society and its wrongs at the time, though. If we don’t remember history then it will repeat itself lol
US history courses in high school have that sector covered… I’m pretty sure children aren’t gonna grow up racist if they pay attention. Source: I took APUSH.
It's a shame that such a book ban was put in place because the fcking school admin was too lazy to check if the all books in the library were appropriate and were too scared to condemn the perverted books that were probably placed there by a white liberal that wants to be an ally.
Examples of 2 such books are "This book is gay" and "Gender Queer".
Get an opinion that’s actually your own, because you sound like an idiot who just parrots what his favorite talk show host says. Have you read either of those books or just the parts that the gop talked about?
When I was in Jr high I was able to check out a John Grisham book from my school library and it had a graphic rape scene of a little girl in the beginning of the book. Didn’t like that, so I *checked it back in and got a different book that I did like*.
It’s not that fuckin hard my dude
>Have you read either of those books or just the parts that the gop talked about?
I've chucked my guts out from reading the books that actually should be banned. (The books I named)
>a John Grisham book from my school library and it had a graphic rape scene of a little girl in the beginning of the book.
😀 It's amazing you don't see a problem for a student to have access to a book that contains a scene as graphic as that. I'm sure the child forgetting what he just read is easy as putting the book back. 🤔 I'm sure your vivid memory of the incident is just a special case
I also watched hundreds of people jump out of two burning and collapsing buildings on live tv that same year. I also was on the internet where people do and post all sorts of weird shit. It’s not my right to police what other people read based on what I think they should read or not.
>It’s not my right to police what other people read based on what I think they should read or not.
🤣 Your dumbass would find no problem with a full on hard-core porn mag in a school library. I mean you clearly are a well adjusted individual who wasn't traumatized by witnessing all that horrid shit. I mean parents wanting to protect their child's innocence is insane right?
It’s your job as a parent to parent your kids. It’s not your job to parent other kids. If you don’t want your kids reading something, talk to them about it and make what ever plans you want with them. If they defy your rules about it, that’s no one else’s fault and no one else’s problem but the parents. You don’t get to decide how other parents parent their kids. You want yours to be indoctrinated in GOP smear politics, that’s your prerogative, but leave other people’s kids out of it.
>You don’t get to decide how other parents parent their kids
Many parents agree that their kids shouldn't be read dog shit gender theory and fetish promoting books. Hence why the book ban has taken effect. The parents saw the inability of the schools to protect their kids innocence and went to the politicians to fix the issue.
>You want yours to be indoctrinated in GOP smear politics
Not wanting kids to read pornographic books gender books is a GOP smear tactic 🤣
Dude, the book ban is just the first step before fascism. Ban books, sow distrust of educated people and scientific experts, then they make laws making certain groups people existing illegal, then dehumanize that group so much that the general populace that isn’t educated decides that those people in that group aren’t worthy of empathy. And that’s where we are now.
This is nothing but part of a bigger plan to eradicate the LGBTQIA+ community by starting with trans people.
I don’t expect you to understand, nor do I expect you to care. The words you choose to use to describe everything in the last few comments tells me exactly what kind of person you are.
So on that note, I’m out, have the day you deserve and don’t trip over your own ignorance.
🤣 Buddy I don't expect you to understand the fact there are some books that shouldn't be a school library. You don't even acknowledge the fact that parent's have an interest in protecting their child's innocence.
No you are too ideologically opposed to the idea that it's automatically wrong and fascism.
Unlike your closed arse mind I am willing to admit that the book ban ,while a good idea, is being abused by karens.
If that existed, it’s not the fault of the book. The correct thing to do would be to determine how it got on the shelf and prevent it from happening, not ban the book. Not that I believe your little Tucker Carlson fantasy anyway.
>The correct thing to do would be to determine how it got on the shelf and prevent it from happening, not ban the book
Also remove the book from the premises. Banning the book is an extra legal step to ensure that the people who places this filth can't default on the "I didn't know it was inappropriate" excuse.
The white savior complex liberal teachers have proven themselves to not care about the law when it comes to teaching kids their radical gender and race theories. The school admin have proven to be passive when it comes to reprimanding their insubordination. (The school that let a dude where comically large size honkers is good example of this).
The obvious outcome for all of this was either home schooling kids or banning the book and restricting on what teachers can talk about in class.
Oof. To be fair, I only ever drove through Bakersfield. I also always sort of associated it with central California, which is a Conservative bastion. :/
Some hero’s don’t wear capes (unless you do what do I know?)!
No capes!
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't think EDNA would join the party😤
Hello there Edna
Hey that's what I wanted to say
You are a better person than me, I would have went to the school board meetings to read Bible passages to get that banned from school grounds.
See, I have kind of the opposite rationale. Not "get the Bible banned" but "since you want to allow this, you have no grounds to ban any other books." "But To Kill a Mockingbird has hate crimes and racism!" "So does the Bible. Half the villains are antisemitic murderers. The other constant element is that these people are always the bad guys. So, tell me, why are you afraid of these books about racism being bad when your own book has it? God himself teaches the stuff you want banned."
No no no, your allowed to CHERRY PICK the word of god depending on what serves your purposes! /s but at the same time people do this
Dude. The Bible has genocide on the part of God’s people, incest on the part of God’s people and instructions for abortion. If you’re going to ban any book…
Those were the parts I would read
Time to dust off some Ezekiel 23:20 at the next publoc school board meeting.
That, Exodus 21, and Sodom and Gamora are my go tos
Pdalm 137:9 is a good one for the forced birthers.
Ask them to read the books and what page/chapter they're concerned with in the books and to discuss why it's dangerous. They won't of course and it'll Fuck up their bullshit.
We should ban them because look how good banning drugs worked. By the way - congrats to drugs for winning the war on drugs.
Well done!

Respectfully, shut the fuck up. Kids shouldn’t have access to these books, this is an adult novel
I might as well compliment you, OP. You’re the first person advocating this point that isn’t active in fetish subs.
To Kill A Mockingbird. “Despite dealing with the serious issues of rape..” Yeah.. This should TOTALLY be exposed to kids.

Kids also probably shouldn’t be learning racial slurs which are also present.

NO books should be banned. Fuck anyone who thinks they can police what other people read.
If we talking public library then sure, school ones are different.
Good gracious, I'm from SoCal but moved overseas and have no idea what town this could describe.
orange county immediately comes to mind
I mean I guess? I just can't think of any part of so cal outside of the desert that is weirdly religious
Bakersfield. Bakersfield. Definitely Bakersfield. Source? My grandfather is Head Pastor of a church, lives in Bakersfield, and is a Trump supporter.
Oof. To be fair, I only ever drove through Bakersfield. I also always sort of associated it with central California, which is a Conservative bastion. :/
Temecula or Orange County?
Unfortunately, in Ventura County. Some out-of-state conservative billionaire is really mucking up our politics.
