Florida Now Banning Dictionaries & Encyclopedias

[Father Heathen]

My point is that in Florida people ban such books because the Dems are obsessed with sex books, and do anything to make children read them.

It's the republicans who are attempting to ban books, so WTF are you even babbling about? What does this have to do with Dems other than them defending the first amendment? Clearly it's the republicans who are obsessed since they're the ones carrying out the witch hunt. You were corrected on this yet you continue regurgitating falsehoods.

How do you expect people to take a transwoman who promotes a transphobic agenda seriously?

I only endorse serious politicians. Like Sanders or Gabbard, or Kennedy.

But Kennedy is a conspiracy theorist kook, so you're wrong.

When I was a kid, there were no such books. There was no Internet either.
I used to watch very romantic telenovelas, so I wasn't exposed to explicit stuff...

So am I, evidently.

How this is relevant?

Critical thinking is your friend.

Again that isn't true. There is absolutely no shred of truth to it.

It's too bad you're not a US citizen.

I'm happy with her voting only in Italy.

It is a good question. It brings to my mind a certain character from the Boondocks.

I'm happy with her voting only in Italy.

I have seen that in Detroit the poll watchers don't check the ID.
I could visit the great lakes next November...

You don't see **** in Italy.
But you could start your own thread about
this crap instead of trying to derail mine.

You brought me up:

That said...I agree with the government of Florida.
Kids need to be taught romance.
Like Argentinian telenovelas from sunrise to sunset. I was raised with them. And I turned out perfect.

 

[Revoltingest]

You brought me up:

You'd already inserted yourself
with your attempts to derail.
Start your own thread.

 

[Secret Chief]

Kids need to be taught romance.

Yes instead of filth such as the Guinness Book of World Records and Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile.

I'm surprised The Handmaid's Tale isn't considered required reading. I suppose that it's portrayal of a totalitarian theocracy in a negative light is what irks some.

 

[tytlyf]

Yeah, you'd think it'd be a shoo-in for the Democrats, but...

2024 will be even better than 2022. Blue tsunami on the horizon

 

[tytlyf]

Yes. Although of course you don't need to go back that long. Or indeed reference another country.

Lately, some in this country learned nothing from history and are repeating it.

Garbage source.

Garbage source.

But axios is fine with you. Leftist blinders are what are truly garbage.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Stop calling them book bans

Excellent article. Explains it well.

The focus on education needs to be paramount in schools and the public library is an excellent alternative for students to evade in house bans.

In my school we had both the bookmobile from the library and we also had bi weekly field trips to the public library, and of course we had our own school library which is a lot more limited as explained why in the link. I think that was a well-rounded way to go about these things and as to why.
