    First: How can you tell? Do you have an account with bsky.app? I don’t. I couldn’t read the link.

    Second: Assuming the post is correct, then no, it’s not a ban. It gives the school district the power to decide the books your child is allowed to BUY!!!

    Scholastic sells books to kids, with parental permission. The books, nor is scholastic owned by the school.

    The school is a governmental agency. Therefore, it’s censorship.

    So the real point of the book banners is now exposed. It is to mail out free porn under the guise of restricting porn. I am quite sure all the repuiblicans immediately threw those graphic images away and did not put them in their secret hiding place only to make a few socks and their bedsheets crusty.

    This should be called the MTG tactic after she used congress to give out free hunter biden dick pics to everyone.

    Bill O'Reilly writes books? Normally I'm against this but reading one of those has got to cross the threshold of causing actual harm.

    What you can't refute, you ignore or dishonestly misrepresent. It’s your only move.

    Strawmen aren't arguments.
    What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

    Whiny emotional rhetoric about empathy is not a refutation. Your feelings don't dictate reality, and there is no "your" truth. Only THE truth.

    No, but back in reality, they are shoving gender ideology at kids against the wishes of parents.

    Change that to "Christian ideology, " and you'll suddenly become less willfully oblivious.

    Oh eat a fucking dick. :dayton:

    Not playing along with the whole "Denying my gender identity is just like owning slaves and gassing Jews" schtick. I find that repugnant and shameless. (clip it there, Dicknuckles. You're a clever boy. :pathead: )

    And since I have repeatedly said I don't want religion in public schools, so I don't know who you're talking to with that.

    Oh, fuck that bullshit. Men have been saying “eat/suck my dick” to everyone and everyone all my life. Never was it ever used as a homosexual ideology.

    Fail.

    Also, answer me this. You’re a guy. Why do men want specific sexual favors, but women who perform those favors are insulted with vehemence. And now you want to act like this is some sort of homo sexual thing. Why do you hate women?

    You’re a typical man who has been masquerading as a human.
