Books with gay and lesbian themes continue to be a flashpoint.

Ya think?

More recently, the federal government has had a say in which books are appropriate for children.

Pedophile groomers can't stand for that.

They will do ANYTHING to get grooming porn into elementary school libraries.

“Books with gay and lesbian themes continue to be a flashpoint.” — Surprise, surprise, surprise!! I’m surprised the author didn’t lump tranny books into the stinking pile of trash.

This is more of the madness, of course books the government puts in the children’s school library are carefully chosen and filtered.

A book is banned when you can be criminally punished for having it or loaning it out.

It is not banned when you do not wish to have it in school libraries. Especially elementary and middle school libraries.

A book not being available in a public library is a bit closer to the concept of banning so let's talk about Abigail Sheere's book "Irreversible Damage" and why the American Library Association banned it..... wait.... where are you going?

Guess they had an appointment elsewhere.

I have family members in public education.
What they are seeing is not outright book bands.
But, simply age appropriate restrictions.
Not unlike movies or video games.
Be suspicious of anyone claiming otherwise.

Libraries have been censoring Christian and conservative books for decades. But they do so without fanfare and are not called out for it, so their hypocrisy at a much greater scale is little noticed.

Not purchased with tax payer money. The books are, unfortunately, still in print.

The horrors of not allowing vile deviants to display their deviancy to children. How terrible. 😡

Books with outright pornography are being shown to little children. THOSE are the books being banned. They can try all they like to compare it to racial book banning but America has had enough and isn’t buying their crap any longer.

most things that offend the Left concern mitigating its predatory behavior — it should be grateful the consequences amount to non-violent censorship

“A Queer History of the United States” can be bought on Amazon for under $25. Not banned.

Is there anyplace that is really banning “To Kill a Mockingbird”? Or was that just included in the list of banned books to make us think that classics are on the chopping block and distract us from the warped perverted books that are actually being banned?

Years ago, our local Borders books was having a book drive for local schools. I bought “To Kill a Mockingbird” to donate. Most of the other classics they recommended as donations were books I found so boring as a kid that I would never subject a child to them. (I’m looking at YOU, “Great Expectations”!)

I’m old enough to remember when society was united on what reading materials were inappropriate for children.

Does it really matter when they can’t teach the children to read?

Earth to NYT: Stop with the lies. Public schools not wanting certain books is not “banning” the book. You will never catch me buying a copy of your stupid lying paper, but that is not “banning” it. Not every book is gonna be in every school library...even books you really really really want forced into them.
