Early today, a House committee signed off on criminally charging librarians who lend “material harmful to children.”

One mother said: "The school does not need to teach our children how to do oral sex. That’s my job.”

House lawmakers could soon consider whether prosecutors could criminally charge librarians for allowing minors to check out sexually explicit materials.

Giving explicit material to kids has been a crime in Idaho since at least 1972, but public libraries, including those at colleges and universities, are exempted from that law.

Rep. Gayann DeMordaunt (R-Eagle) wants to cut that exemption, meaning librarians could face up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine any time they lend explicit materials to someone under 18.

“The increasingly frequent exposure of our children to obscene and pornographic materials in places that I as a parent assume are safe and free from these kinds of harmful materials is downright alarming,” DeMordaunt said.

Kara Claridge, a mother from Coeur d’Alene, agrees. Last summer, Claridge said her daughter found a library book about a same-sex relationship between a prince and a knight.

2. Good to know

[LuckyCharms]

3. I wonder what she uses as a teaching aid?

[LuckyCharms]

6. Nevermind, found the answer in the article...

She uses donkey and horsey stuffed animals.

Copied from the link:

“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like those of horses, so you longed for the lewdness of your youth when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled,” she read.

[L. Coyote]

4. Idaho lawmakers blow and suck.

[Wingus Dingus]

5. Her kids were last seen crawling under a rock.

[dalton99a]

8. +1. "Mom, you SUCK"

[gratuitous]

7. Has anyone told Idaho Republicans about the existence of the internet?

Their ersatz vapors sending them to the fainting couches is just so much nonsense.

[yonder]

13. +1.

9. What the serious fuck is wrong with these people?

[Mariana]

21. Religion, mostly. nt.

[2naSalit]

10. My dad must have been mormon...

His idea of sex ed for my older sister was to rape her. But child sex abuse is a big thing in Idaho. Once I attended, as a technician, a statewide judiciary hearing on child sex abuse in the state. I got hold of the info handouts and saw that, back in the late 199os, Idaho was the third highest in child abuse.

I lived in that state for a decade and a half, the dominant religious cult has some really strange norms that would be deemed illegal in any other state.

[LuckyCharms]

11. You know, this really has me thinking...

Does she teach both her sons and daughters how to "do" oral sex, assuming each of her children are attracted to the opposite gender?

I mean, if my mom, God rest her soul, ever tried to teach me how to perform oral sex on a woman, I think I would have to run away and join the circus.

[Wingus Dingus]

15. If MY mom ever even said the words "oral sex"

in front of me I would have dropped dead of awkwardness and embarrassment.

[LuckyCharms]

16. I heard my mom swear only once while I was a child...

she said "shit", under her breath, barely audible.

I started crying.

[Wingus Dingus]

17. LOL--mom's out of control! My mom

was more of a "JESUSMARYJOSEPH!" type--the more acceptable Catholic cussing.

[LuckyCharms]

22. Come to think of it...

I can't remember my dad swearing even once! I was raised Catholic as well. Mom went to church, dad didn't.

I wonder why I swear so much?

[Wingus Dingus]

26. My dad said the F-word once, in front of us kids.

Our mouths just DROPPED OPEN, and holy crap it was quiet after that.

[Beakybird]

27. Aw... sounds like a classy mom.

But getting those swear words out can be emotionally healthy too...

[LuckyCharms]

28. Thank you...she was indeed, and you're right...

I think swearing is healthy in a family, assuming a lot of other "good" parenting qualities are demonstrated as well.

[llmart]

12. Oh my.

This home schooling business is getting out of hand.

Wonder what her version of "show and tell" looks like?

[LuckyCharms]

19. It looks like this...

as mom points to a anatomy chart...

...and this part right here is called the "glans". What you want to do is...

EWWWWWW. JESUS CHRIST, MOM. GROSS!!! Can't we work on spelling instead?

[Hugin]

37. or it could be the "Carrie" version of sex education...

Where MOTHER points at a picture of Jesus and says, "This is where righteous girls hide their dirty pillows".

[Nanjeanne]

14. ...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. The Qonned would rather their children learn about sex from the Internet. . . nt

[Nevilledog]

20. Junior: "Someone at school said I should Google goatse...let's do it!"

[LuckyCharms]

23. Jesus Christ...

[Nevilledog]

25. You didn't have to Google it.

31. Was at a dinner party once at a friend's home. Quite a few people attended.

Living room was right off the dining room.

Desktop computer was in the living room.

Managed to stealthily go into the living room and put a full screen goatse pic on the monitor.

Went back to mingle, and listened to the shocked reactions all night as people slowly discovered it.

[Nevilledog]

33. Niiiiiiice.

[LuckyCharms]

35. Yes, I read the room and decided to do it since...

the co-host of the party kept asking his wife if he should use his "meat thermometer" to check on the roast.

[Nevilledog]

36. *snicker*

[Wounded Bear]

24. Someone spent the lockdown surfing the dark edges of the internet...

[Caliman73]

29. "I can't define pornography but I'll know it when I see it"

That has been the standard line in the debate about what counts as obscenity and pornography. Really? guides on safe sex?

I am sure they exist, but in my almost 50 years of life on this planet, which included EXTENSIVE use of public libraries for school and for personal entertainment, I have NEVER experienced a librarian who was pushing obscene information.

These people seem to have ZERO internal control and thus need to legislate prudishness to escape their own wantonness. Sort of like how NOBODY, except fundamentalist pastors are obsessing about beastiality all the time. Like no one on the entire planet, thinks about sex with animals more than fundamentalist Christian pastors.

30. Does anyone under 25 still read books? n/t

[cinematicdiversions]

43. This is Idaho. I doubt any over 25 there does. Nt

[ARPad95]

34. I had a whack job for a "mother" as well.

She was the embodiment of Old Mother Hubbard of the nursey rhyme. The obscene # of children she got pregnant with and birthed in a relatively short amount of time was her only claim to fame. When it came time for sex education to be taught as a part of health class in my high school during 10th grade, she made sure her big mouth landed her on the front page of the newspaper. It was EMBARRASSING as all heck to have the antithesis of responsible parenthood spewing her anti-sex education in the public school BS. What a joke!

[LudwigPastorius]

38. I know what she was TRYING to say, but...

boy, did she blow it.

[Nevilledog]

40. And how...

[48656c6c6f20]

39. It wasn't a very good movie.

So predictable.

[maxsolomon]

41. Fucking Eagle, man.

The internet is available in every library in that suburb - that's far more explicit than whatever book her daughter found.

[LiberatedUSA]

42. Her version of The Aristocrats? N/t
