So I should have my ability to read castrated because you think some books aren’t appropriate? I was reading college level books in elementary school, if books were gated by “age appropriateness”, I would never have become a good reader, because books “my age” were crap. You have no right to dictate what someone else can or can’t read, even your own children. People are their own, you don’t own them.
But I don’t need to be in charge of everyone else’s kids in school. At this point I’m pretty sure you are trolling. You don’t need every book in the library to be screened by every single parent, there would be nothing left. And certainly not screened by you if you don’t even have school kids. Again - if you want your kid ignorant of everyone different from them, your remedy is homeschooling. Not censoring every challenging idea out of the public school curriculum. Some parents don’t want evolution taught in school, should schools bend to them too?
Yes I am denying it based on direct experience, you are claiming it based on hearsay. Turn off YouTube and go volunteer at a school, if you can pass the background screening. Get out of your bubble and into the world.
And honestly I will never understand why anyone feels threatened by gay people or families with gay parents, or men in women’s clothing or women in men’s clothing. None of that is threatening. It’s not violent, it’s not pushy, they aren’t going door to door like Jehovah’s Witnesses trying to get you to put on a dress, or telling you you are going to hell for being straight.
Do you have kids in school? I do, and there is no indoctrination except the pledge of allegiance. If you object to what the school teaches, the remedy open to you is homeschooling, not trying to strong-arm the school down to the lowest common denominator.
And if you’ve ever had to do child sexual abuse/trafficking awareness training you would have learned that the risk to kids comes from people the adults trust. The preacher, the camp counselor, uncle. Not drag queens reading library books to families. That harms nobody. If you don’t want to attend, don’t.
Libraries, the ones my tax dollars support, should be free from religious control. Separation of church and state is constitutionally mandated. Again, if you object to this you have churches, church schools, and homeschooling, all of which are allowed. You are allowed your beliefs and biases, but not to push your restrictions on everyone else.
You whined that the school didn’t allow your “we support cops for murdering black people” flags. Maybe they respected the US flag more than those who keep desecrating it into the fascist thin blue line flag.
EDIT: Also, the BLM protests happened when schools were closed due to Trump’s shitty mishandling of the pandemic. And most of the protests happened during summer. Do you think schools go all out for decorating and events during remedial summer classes? You were just making shit up because you wanted to pretend that you’re persecuted.
Not you. I responded to TheMage. After some digging around in the modlog, it looks like he’s been banned instancewide for being a bigoted conspiracy turd. Don’t know how it got to your inbox.

Lmao, and being involved in their lives means you get to dictate their experiences?
He thinks that being involved in his children’s lives means he gets to dictate that other people’s children are raised to be bigots.

It’s nice to know that in addition to hating LGBTQ people, you also love it when cops murder unarmed black people for you.

Me? You respond to wrong comment?

I didn’t get a notification, but when I opened it, it looked like a reply to me. Probably more to do with things looking odd after the ban.
Agreed. Politicians should 100% stay the fuck away from the school curriculum. Just let teachers do their job.
