Rush used to comment about "young skulls full of mush." It may be a lifelong impediment for a lot of these kids.

The article said it was The Handmaid's Tale graphic novel, so not even the full text version of the book.

Liberals are just evil. If one doesn’t kill their baby in the womb, they want to groom it for pedo homosexuals.

So, if she was able to get the book, and was not punished for having it, how is it “banned?”

Her "Everybody, look at me!" moment.

Now, she'll get pregnant, so she can have an abortion and, thus, confirm her standing in the "progressive" camp.

If the book is banned, how did the student obtain it? By illegal means?

As I’ve said here before, I live in a podunk rural conservative county in the middle of no-where. Population about 15,000. I think about 4,000 voted in the primary election (3,500 GOP—500 Dems).

We have only one elementary school, one primary school, one middle school, and one high school. Given all the news in the media of inappropriate books, the school formed a committee of parents and teachers who reviewed the books in local library. There was one book that was in the children’s section that they recommended be moved to the older teen or adult section.

The book transfer was done with minimal fuss and the one or two liberals that yelled “book banning” were ignored and told if they wanted the book for their children they were free to purchase it. (I don’t think either of them actually have children and are liberal transplants to our county).

I was pleased with the way it was handled.

Shouldn’t she be arrested for distributing child pornography. I am kind of assuming here it is one of “those” books with graphic descriptions of sexual deviance between adolescents or even adults and adolescents.

Regarding Libraries being able to *not* carry books of their choosing . . .

United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit — Filed May 23, 2025

Here is an amusing except from the Court’s Opinion:

“We note with amusement (and some dismay) the unusually over-caffeinated arguments made in this case. Judging from the rhetoric in the briefs, one would think Llano County had planned to stage a book burning in front of the library. Plaintiffs and amici warn of ‘book bans,” “pyres of burned books,” “totalitarian regimes,’ and the ‘Index librorum prohibitorum.’ One amicus intones: ‘Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people.’ Take a deep breath, everyone. No one is banning (or burning) books. If a disappointed patron can’t find a book in the library, he can order it online, buy it from a bookstore, or borrow it from a friend.

All Llano County has done here is what libraries have been doing for two centuries: decide which books they want in their collections. That is what it means to be a library—to make judgments about which books are worth reading and which are not, which ideas belong on the shelves and which do not.

If you doubt that, next time you visit the library ask the librarian to direct you to the Holocaust Denial Section.”
