Who has been arrested for any book so far? You set a standard that does not exist and then feign outrage. In fact you seem to agree with the actual roll out of the law, just now with the media coverage 


The law allows for a felony charge. You’re fine with that solely because nobody has been charged yet?

 

When did conservatives suddenly turn into boot lickers?

Boot lickers can exist on either side when the government is doing things they agree with…👍

LOL!  So the law hasn't caught anyone yet, you're just whining about it potentially doing it sometime in the future.  Got it. :rolleyes:

So your argument is that I should be allowed to give a child in my class straight porn and the worst is I get fired? I should be allowed to show a 3rd grader how to perform oral sex and jail is not appropriate? Clearly you and I disagree on this, which is fine, but your dishonesty about what would be required in order to be arrested and charge is pathetic. BTW why do you support jail for someone who simply gives a 20 year old a beer in your state?

This was the final straw in a string of problems for this school. It has seen terrible performance academically lately and they wanted her gone and found an excuse. If this was truly the only reason I would agree it is ridiculous but the school is performing poorly and she gave them an excuse. I will also point out this is a charter school so the rules are different.

Well you can bet kids at that school aren't going to be seeing Michelagelo's David there ever again.  You think that's a good thing? 3 anally retentive, prude parents decide for the whole (publicly financed) school?  What if these idiots decide girls should keep their heads and faces covered so as not to entice boys?  And you all complain about vax mandates robbing you of your freedom... some freedoms are less important than others I suppose...

Could you *for once* not make up ***** about what I do and do not believe? You do not know me and instead of responding to my arguments, you’re just making up lies. You’re inability to answer simple questions and constant deflection and lying is ridiculous and childish. 
 

My argument has always been very simple: the state government should not make it a crime to stock books that do not fit an ideological narrative. 
 

As you pointed out, existing delinquency and child endangerment laws already cover the scenario you seem obsessed with. Which would seem to make the Florida law redundant or moot if that was its actual purpose. 

 

Would you support a law making it a crime to stock books in a school library that do not fit the most socialist lefty pinko commie narrative?

Wait...that's not what I meant. 🤣

 

 

 

“*****, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, *****, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent, who noted that they have actually read the Bible, wrote. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.”

 

“Get this PORN out of our schools,” they continued. “If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, this should be a slam dunk.”

I like beer better than wine.  But I like bourbon best...

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/25/trump-desantis-gop-primary-00088730

 

Trump has a 17-point lead among Republicans without a college degree (up from a 10-point lead in February). And while DeSantis still leads among voters with a four-year degree, 40 percent to 28 percent, Trump has significantly cut into what was a 29-point deficit with those voters in the past month.

Even were he not able to make inroads on DeSantis’ turf, Trump has an inherent advantage. A decades-long realignment has pushed college-educated voters toward Democrats — an already-existing trend that Trump accelerated — making the GOP’s “beer track” the larger cohort among Republican primary voters. Such divides defined the 2016 GOP presidential primary, propelling Trump to a once-unlikely nomination and, ultimately, the presidency.

Actually I agree that public schools should not be promoting the bible. Many kids are not ready for the stories of the bible and how brutal life used to be. Parents should be the ones guiding kids, and in high school it should be allowed to be present in school media centers, not younger.

For everyone’s information there are fewer and fewer actual books in the typical school library these days. They are very expensive to purchase, store and maintain. The key skill of a school librarian is actually in teaching students how to navigate through the limitless sources found on the internet….not how to use the Dewey Decimal System.

Banning books isn’t mitigated by the total number available

Of course not. I’m just pointing out what school libraries are all about these days. I designed them for a living! 

They are not libraries, they are media centers because they handle all versions of media available, including books. And it is not a ban, since all of these books are available in the Library system, the difference is when my daughter orders a book for delivery I get to see it before it arrives. Using the word ban is either dishonest or pathetically ill informed at this point. I am also not allowed to discuss politics at school, am I banned from being political?

Great! Makes sense to me. Another book with no place in public elementary school.

Hmm, would I rather have education designed by people with PhDs and masters degrees in child psychology, education, arts, etc. 

 

or 

 

Would I rather have education designed by Breighlynn, the high-school dropout mom of two with mild alcoholism and a belief that 5G towers cause autism?

Most parents want to know what their kids are taught vs some elitist snob that tries to call them insults for taking care of what they brought into the world.

 

Its all good. fits with the modern left. 

 

good comment. perfectly summarized the modern left.

Common Core. That’s all that has to be said about that.

You tried to make a point on saying parents should have no say in their children’s education because they aren’t qualified by an institution. I am going to take a stab saying you aren’t a parent are you?

Parents can have a say at school board meetings. 
 

They should not be able to delete parts of the curriculum just because it hurts their feelings, like this law allows.

they have every right to send their kids to private schools if they disagree with what is being taught by mainstream educators.  I hear there's even a private school run by avowed nazis.  or they can homeschool.

I think it’s a good idea, it’s a check system where subject matter can be reviewed and if needed added to or discarded. Again the example of common core comes to mind

They shouldn’t have their tax $$ confiscated by the school system and Teachers Union if they choose a private school. Therein lies the b#*+h. Dems / Libs don’t want competition to their insane agenda because it’s a loser if the public is given real choice.

“Insane agenda” is when you teach that Jackie Robinson experienced racism, amirite?

So should people without kids be free from paying school taxes?
