Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.

    I’m not going to entertain your “DEFINE EXACTLY WHAT THE PHENOMENA YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OR IT DOESNT EXIST” bullshit. There’s a lot of nuance to this topic and its hard to draw concrete lines anywhere, but I would say teachers should focus on the curriculum and not their personal life. I don’t think explicitly anti-lgbt indoctrination belongs in classrooms either. I want teachers to avoid discussions about sensitive social issues altogether, it is not their role.

      Stop trying to make it a both sides issue when in fact, the fascists are the only ones trying to fuck over kids.

      You have yet to provide a single example of the thing you’re claiming “also happens” despite nobody having ever heard of this happening. We have clear examples of the anti-LGBTQ bullshittery from the OP article, where are yours?

        I don’t have to prove shit to you, I’m just voicing my opinion. You are welcome to call it stupid. Keep moving. Whenever I have posted evidence of sexually explicit activity in front of children it gets downplayed and I’m called a prude. I don’t really care to reason with you to be perfectly honest. Like most things in life, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Maybe it’s skewed to one side sometimes, but it seems people are so afraid to self criticize out of fear of giving the other side ammo.
