1. Is this at the school district library....

... or does he have sway over what the public library offers?

[L. Coyote]

4. Only the school libraries.

[flying_wahini]

2. Ass backwards people. Granbury is a TFG Mecca w/ redneck conservatives that ONLY watch Faux.

I live just 30 min away from these people with more money than sense.

Hope they stay there and leave us alone.

[LakeArenal]

3. "Here in this community, we're going to be racists and bigots,"

Fixed it!!!

Why are southern lawmakers so hooked on sex?

It’s on their minds all the time.

Any deviation from”who they are” fills their minds with sex and procreation.

Not science or DNA, or humanitity, or compassion or equality, or decency.

Just about who are putting genitals together.

[L. Coyote]

5. Perfect.

[OMGWTF]

14. Homophobes are likely closeted, self-loathing homosexuals themselves, according to science.

Why do they constantly think about gay sex -- even more than "out" gays think about gay sex?

[halfulglas]

24. Because they're jealous.

They always think "the other" gets more than they do. Think about it. Especially rich conservatives think practically every black person is on welfare. "Don't want MY money going to them." They think every person who is agnostic or atheist is out to convert them or their kids rather than just wanting live their own life and to be left alone. Every other religion than theirs is a cult or devil worship. They think every black person in college is an affirmative action admission and therefore taking up space that they or someone "more deserving" should get. And especially they think everybody else is having more sex than they do and that has to stop. Why even if they're just kids, they can't be allowed to think about being different than "the way God made them," not realizing that if God is real, he made them "different."

29. I made that point once to a bunch of guys sitting around a break table.

One guy was a pain in the ass with all his homophobic crap. I told him I just read an article in Psychology Today that said all homophobic people have latent tendency toward homosexuality. It was all BS. I read nothing but it shut him up. He never brought up his homophobic crap again.

My kid came home from school complaining about how everything was gay. The boys called anything they didn't like gay and he was sick of it.
So I called the principal and asked her to do her job and make it stop. She told me that it was nothing and all the boys did it. She was a BLACK lady. I probably shouldn't have but I gave up on that one. I should have went over her head.

25. by default, cons suppress sex to increase masturbation to increase sex on the wrong brain, which

increases the irrational need for certainty in 'old world' gene pools that have been selecting for those authoritarian tendencies for generations - authoritarianism is sometimes measured with the Uncertainty Avoidance Index

it's called sex on the wrong brain, constant enemy of democracy. that's def a book that needs to be banned!

to strengthen democracy for good the science needs to be done to prove right handed masturbation has been making a lot of people stupid fearful and violent assholes on a large scale

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Somebody might wanna check that guy's closet?

I think he protests too much.

[sop]

7. Comservatives say they ban books in schools because their kids are being "indoctrinated."

No, they want to ban books because their kids come home no longer believing the indoctrination forced on them at home.

[L. Coyote]

8. Children return home and try to educate the parents, that's what scares them, finding out

how stupid they are.

[summer_in_TX]

12. Cha ching!

[ybbor]

17. And in their "churches"

Ding ding ding!

[Conjuay]

41. Once again, playing to the fearful.

My wife is a grade school teacher/ reading specialist / libriarian. Has been for forty years.

She rejoices ANYTIME a kid wanders into the library of their own volition,
doesn't matter what they are looking for; having them in the library is rarer than unicorns.

She often comes home and tells me about it.

Once again, cons are barking up the wrong tree.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Using government for censorship to protect your freedoms

Twisted sister he is

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. I wonder how many kids have died from reading books.Or

Or even been wounded at all.

[sop]

18. The Second Amendment always trumps the First Amendment.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. and it really frosts me when they only read one line and not the whole thing

[usonian]

11. Three points

Agree on the obsession with sex. It's projection.

Agree that books are not indoctrination. They're the antidote.

Want to add that almost all books are available on digital media and the internet. And by the way, this usually crosses state lines, so how does anyone ban them? Burn the internet?

[uponit7771]

13. +1, its all for show. Someone needs to stand up NATIONALY and say this is wrong before it spreads

[Aristus]

15. No, you're going to be illiterate.

But then, I suspect you probably already are.

The only thing worse than a stupid person is a stupid person who is proud of it...

19. "New research on Trump voters: They're not the sharpest tools in the box"

"Now there's proof: Trump's voters lack 'cognitive sophistication,' often believe Bible is literal word of God."

SURE it is.

[Xoan]

IGNORANT.

[onethatcares]

40. I've yet to see the headline

"Teacher reads book to class, 14 die as a result"

Meanwhile

"Student returns to school with rifle, kills 20" hardly makes the headlines anymore
