It's odd people just hear someone say book ban and not look into it. They're taking sexually explicit books out of schools for 5-9 year olds.

One of the headline today was Missouri defunding all libraries, not just for kids. Not just schools.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jebys2p wrote
I'd recommend following up and looking into it yourself. News is more about agenda than news anymore. Both sides.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec1con wrote
Just read up on it... "Since it was first enacted in August, librarians and other educators have faced misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail or a $2,000 fine for giving students access to books the state has deemed sexually explicit. The Missouri law defined explicit sexual material as images “showing human masturbation, deviate sexual intercourse,” “sexual intercourse, direct physical stimulation of genitals, sadomasochistic abuse,” or showing human genitals." They aren't following the law, so they're shutting down funding

What sexually explicit book did your kid bring home from school?

I guess the definition of "sexually explicit" is different in your dictionary
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jeblqdx wrote
Taking about eating pussy and blowjob's seems pretty explicit to me.
PM_ME_UR_XTRA_NIPS t1_jebrp9y wrote
How many books do that?
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jebzjwt wrote
Doesn't matter the number. Get them out.
PM_ME_UR_XTRA_NIPS t1_jec0zjy wrote
All of the books? Or just the very few that have offensive materials? What defines offensive? Should a puritan be able to decide for me what my child has access to? What about the Bible? Murder, incest, cannabilasm, child murder. Should that be included? Biology books that explain human reproduction?
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec1kfn wrote
No, it shouldn't be included. If you as a parent want to show your kids porn, snuff or religious materials, that's your prerogative. But that's the parent's decision. Get it out.

Why should a parent be allowed to censor/traumatise kids any more than a school?
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec35ke wrote
I don't think any parent should. But some people are pissed about graphic and pornographic material being banned. I'm saying if they want to damage their kid, that's their issue. Leave my kid alone.
Umpteenth_zebra t1_jec3dqa wrote
If they want to damage their kid, that's their kid's issue (but not responsibility), and is just as much an issue as if a school did it.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec40qg wrote
You're missing my point. I'm saying I don't care how people feel about these topics. Keep them away from my kid. I don't think they should show it to their kids either. But absolutely no way are they to expose my kids to it.
Umpteenth_zebra t1_jec48ts wrote
So your kids should have more what you would consider benefits than other people's? They're all children and they don't choose who they're born to.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec4g2i wrote
What are you talking about?
Umpteenth_zebra t1_jec4nhc wrote
Why do you think your kids should have special protections other kids don't? Because they had the random chance to be born to you rather than someone else you think they should have a different treatment?
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec4xkz wrote
Again. What are you talking about?
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec5azk wrote
Are you saying since I care about my kids and other parents don't care about their kids, then fuck it, screw all the kids? I'm so lost on your logic.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec5gtg wrote
There is material suitable for children. Stick to it. There is material not suitable for children. Don't use it
PM_ME_UR_XTRA_NIPS t1_jec3vu3 wrote
Here's a pro-tip. School libraries don't show snuff or porn to kids. Most parents don't either. Religion is fine within society, but has no business in public schools as not all children believe in the same God(s) ( there's close to 3000 of them)
Yes, there are a handful of instances of inappropriate content in schools, but that number doesn't justify this full on attack on public education.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec4dth wrote
Here's a pro tip, I said keep all that, including religious materials out. The attack on education is saying keep the garbage out. Teach reading, writing, arithmetic. Don't teach gender ideology, race theory, religion or sexual orientation.
PM_ME_UR_XTRA_NIPS t1_jec6gtb wrote
I think I misunderstood what you meant then in your previous comment. I'm okay with children( 8th YEAR +) being taught that there are different sexual orientations ( and that it's okay to be that way-in terms of consenting ADULTS) This could/should be a part of sex education.
There are instances of homosexuality being observed in 500+ species. I'm not saying showing pictures or describe in depth the behavior or have repeated lessons on the topic, but being gay shouldn't be stigmatized any more in society.
I don't know what race theory is, but a lot of historical events are based in race and history should be taught objectively in a way that doesn't teach inferiority/superiority. Just the facts.
Gender psychology is a college level class, it's fine where it's at.

Ok so it sounds like we agree on all fronts.

Florida literally banning kids books about black people and Asians, not to mention non-nuclear families
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jebyl5j wrote
Books about race theory. Not about black people. I don't know anything about the non-nuclear books. I'd be interested to see.

I mean a banned book nya's long walk is about retrieving water in south Sudan.
I feel that the veil is thin when it comes to this shit.
NotacreativeguyGM t1_jec1v5b wrote
If that's banned, I have no idea why and would oppose it.
Acidelephant t1_jec2r3o wrote
These are the books banned in one county. Seems like maybe too much control was given to ban books. https://pen.org/banned-books-florida/
