That's easy. It means anything that does venerate the white Christian males makes us feel uncomfortable.

Or a Florida school board meeting where hours are spent debating which book to pull from the shelves next.

So? Parents should be involved in their children’s education. Morals should be taught at home not by teachers. Our children are failing in the essentials!

We need to have children reach their full potential. Let's expand AP course offerings, and hold our students to a higher standard. Offer more mathematical courses, such as linear algebra and statistics, in high school.

I think we agree here. I'm just opposed to the culture warriors trying to censor books and restrict freedom of speech.

These are astroturfed far-right lunatics, not actual "concerned parents"

That is a valid argument to pull certain books. I am guessing you have not seen some of the content a child can check out from a school library.

And what makes you qualified to say that?

Read the fucking article

I did!

Yes. They're an anti LGBT hate group, like the ones mysteriously popping up all over the country

No they just don’t want it a priority in schools.

It's a non-issue being blown into a partisan one for political points. Library usage has been declining for decades. Most kids don't even take out books. If kids are seeing things you think are objectionable, I assure you, it's via their tablets, smartphones, and computers. It's from Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, etc. Not the local library.

Additionally, we should not trample on the First Amendment just because some speech may be objectionable. Going down the road of regulating objectionable speech gives power to the State to use arbitrary measures to censor speech it doesn't like. Sure, you may be okay with this now because the current people in power are those you trust, but you cannot always guarantee this going forward.

no one is asking for it to be priority in schools.

amen

Tell me you’re a fascist without saying you’re a fascist

Ok then, don't let school dictate what kids should have access to and let those parents make individual decisions for their own children and not others.

Do you even know what a fascist is??

>Morals should be taught at home not by teachers.

There need to be certain ethical and moral baselines for the funtioning of a modern, secular society, and it is the role of public education to ensure that students are able to be fully functioning members of said society.

If you have to look around the room and you’re not sure who the fascist is, it’s probably you

I guess you don’t then!

Fascism is a socioeconomic philosophy based on extreme nationalism, authoritarianism and fusion of political organization with privately owned corporations. It’s intentions are essentially the same as the Laffer curve (which has been thoroughly debunked) that if privately held companies with government direction requiring what would be forced labor would better direct the economy than capitalism, socialism, communism, etc. By taking away the rights of workers and replacing them with authoritarianism under the guise of nationalism then the economy and government would prosper. By definition you would need a scape goat and increasingly paranoid views of anyone outside of your immediate group with whom you identify. Burning books becomes natural as a way to control information and ideology.

Hence you

Oh sorry. What were you asking?

Seems more like the ones now in power. Lots of little brown shirts, like yourself. Curious where you cut and pasted this from. You seem misguided my little friend.

Ok. Good luck with your political leanings. I think you’ll need it

We will talk on Wednesday

Ok. If your fascist politician wins it doesn’t make you right. It doesn’t mean you haven’t supported a fascist. It just means you helped a fascist win. Do you understand that just because you support them and they win doesn’t mean they are not fascist? It’s important that you understand that just because you agree with them that it doesn’t mean that they aren’t fascist.

Parents should be involved in their kids education. It doesn't mean they get to tell every parent what is right for their kids too or pitch a fit because the class has a trans kid or the teacher is gay or a book in the library was about a gay person.

The groups pushing these things are astroturfed right wing hate groups that recruit a few lunatics in each district to try and turn it into a wave against people they don't like. Many of the most outspoken people at school board meetings anymore don't even have kids in the school system in that district.

You crack me up! Thanks for the good laugh!🤣🤣🤣

>statistics

Statistics for sure! Not even in pursuit of academic excellence or whatever, it's just such useful, relevant, math.

Oh there it is!

yOu pEoPlE aRe tHe REAL NaZiS

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yup

Fuck off, bookburner

And you are a clueless petulant child

Confirmed: actual cult zealot.

Say fascist one more time. And add in racist just to cover all the talking points. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sure but seeing the things these parents are crying about their children learning I don’t think there’s much morality being taught in these homes.

> By their own words, Parents United is against the so-called “progressive” and “woke” agenda.

This is all you need to know. Anyone who whines about the “woke” agenda is a miserable asshole. I wish I could say they should be ignored but they’re also dangerous lunatics who need to be stopped.

What are “morals” in this context?

Just your ideal of morals. Everyone’s are not the same.

True, my idea of morals are things like tolerance, acceptance, admitting that bad things have happened in our past, and things like that. All things that are the very antithesis of what Republicans are in favor of.

Hahahahahahaha

>We will talk on Wednesday

You ready to talk?
