Maybe the one of the various House Committee’s should subpoena buttboy and require it to read these books out loud on the record on LIVE TV, if it refuses. Lock it up for contempt and impeach it.

Next time you encounter a skeptic, ask him: Have you looked inside any of these books?

The author is being sexist here. The worst cases of maniacal leftists are women.

To call one thing by something else in order to gain sympathy for their cause is only one of the Left's many deceptive strategies.
Removing inappropriate books from the classroom = Book Banning.
Removing Drag Shows from the classroom = Limits Free Speech.
(Interesting how they value some Free Speech but not others.)
Voter ID, Voter Integrity = Voter Suppression.
Letting Men compete as women = Gender Equality.
etc.

Conservatives believe there have to be a limit on what books are in a school library that is used by children.

Liberals believe there have to be limits on what books are in a public library that is used by adults.

If you think those are special, try “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by Geoge M Johnson. This is a “how to” rape & be raped by incestuous boys, and then how to become an overcomer by becoming a rapist of young boys.

School Board in my city thought it was grand enough to keep. Our local Non-Profit 501(c)3 bought several copies to give away to kids. Yet the School Board wouldn’t allow any parents to read passages aloud, lest it “offend someone” listening.

Yes, we actually read it and were disgusted. You can’t unread pornographic filth.

This was the first of many that the liberals in my FL city embrace. We parents are bad because this is “enlightened literature” for the kids’ benefit and let’s not forget freedom of speech.

This is just nuts.

Like Billy Graham said, “If God doesn’t judge this country, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.”

Be interesting to know, exactly, what books the Nazi’s burned. It’s kinda funny how that never gets mentioned when that history is taught to us, and we, of course, make assumptions to fill in the gap.

Being alive today, I can imagine situations where book burning might be justified. Certainly if flag burning is to be considered acceptable protected speech, book burning should be just peachy.

Apparently you do not think it is actually interesting. Because if you did you would look it up.

You haven't so you don't.

Nice try though.

I wonder if the authors and publishers of this stuff are members of The Book of the Month Club For Young Kids?

This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.
