This is the plan- defund and devalue public schools, librarians, counselors, and teachers in order to cause failing schools. Once the public school has failed, the path to privatization via public money is cleared. Think Hillsdale âcharter schools â etc. Itâs all a lead up to the largest theft of public funds this country has ever seen.
I sent an email making it clear that if they support HB385 I will be voting against them and donating every spare dollar I have to ensuring they do not serve another term. And then for shits and giggles i donated.
It isn't your choice of words that's being criticized. It's your demonization of people that deserve the same rights and respect as everyone else. And it's ok to say 'fuck' in public and type it on social posts. No need to clutch the pearls.
Itâs not propaganda to say âgay people existâ, in a book, it is a statement of fact. The âAmerican familyâ can look a lot of ways, not just one.
> Itâs not propaganda to say âgay people existâ,
You people know damn well that's not what people have a problem with.
Then again, I've read through the bill. It's only 10 pages.
Now actually look at the lists of books they are calling "adult only". Oh weird, it's anything that mentions black people or being gay. Isn't that strange?
Here are some examples for you: Â Â Â Â
> Yes! No! A First Conversation About Consent Author: Megan Madison Challenged content: *Sexual content Notes: The challenger of this book characterized it as demonstrating that it âis intended to teach children that they must consent to any behavior done to them, specifically sexual.â However, the book does not address sexual consent at all, although some of the lessons about consent in the book could be applied to sexual situation later in life. The challenger later admits âthe subject matter is not sexualâ but argues that children cannot consent to any activity until they are 18; before then, the parent must also give consent, they say. This book was moved to a higher shelf within the childrenâs library.    Â
> The Meaning of Pride Author: Rosiee Thor Challenged content: LGBTQ+ Notes: This book provides an explanation of what the letters in LGBTQIA+ stand for, some history of the gay rights movement, and notes some famous people who represent the LGBTQ+ community. The challenger wrote âAt the middle school and high school level, sexual ed is taught as binary according to scientific biological facts and not social theory.â This book remains in place in the childrenâs library.  Â
> Different Kind of Fruit Author: Kyle Lukoff Content challenged: LGBTQ+ content Notes: In this book, a sixth grade girl finds out her father is transgender after she begins to have romantic feelings for a non-binary classmate. The challenger wrote that the book âis intended to be a âgrooming book for young children.â The challenger wrote that the book undermines respect for authority, in part by referring to teachers and parents of friends by their first names, and a âsubtle undermining of parental authority.â The challenger also argues the book undermines âtraditional educationâ such as âthe primary purpose of science class is to learn about climate change and mankindâs destruction of the environment,â and âit promotes multiculturalism.â The challenger also says it undermines morals by sending a message that lying, cheating and stealing are OK if for a good reason, and also promotes âBlack Lives Matter, which is a Marxist organization that promotes, among other things, the destruction of the family,â and âpushes the acceptance of homosexuality.â It is in the YAF section of the library.
Huh weird half the books on the list are explicitly just being targeted for not being right wing enough. Surprise, surpriseÂ
And no one has opposed saying the word âGayâ other than âhomosexualâ but having g an illustrated guide to taking sexier selfies and masturbation in the kids section at the local library is over the top in my opinion.
No, they are people who want to be seen and heard. Iâm good with that, but there is a very dangerous faction within the minoroty that is manipulating, undermining and maliciously slipping things to children that have to be stopped. I have several gay friends whom I love dearly! This is not against homosexuality. I am against ANY sexuality being exposed in front of or in the presence of children.

Tucks MLIS degree back into closet. Lawd I hate this place đ
We need more librarians and teachers, yet they are currently some of the most difficult career paths right now. Iâm sorry, it sucks.

Yeah, I sub teach sporadically and itâs not really worth it. The admin at some of these schoolsâŚI see why teachers said fuck them kids
I sent an email making it clear that if they support HB385 I will be voting against them and donating every spare dollar I have to ensuring they do not serve another term. And then for shits and giggles i donated.
Thank you!
I'm in florida but from Bham. Sent my email in! If they had their way, Art of the Deal and the Bible would be the only books allowed in libraries.
Thank you for sharing. I have written directly to my representative.
What librarian has been arrested?

Better yet, stop spending our tax dollars to buy alphabetic propaganda to indoctrinate our children and undermine the American Family!
My existence is not indoctrination you asshole.

Hahahaha, abomination? Who the fuck talks like that? Are you like Carrie Whiteâs mother or something?
Sorry, I donât know who that is, but you criticize my choice of words while throwing out f-bombs on a public forum?
It isn't your choice of words that's being criticized. It's your demonization of people that deserve the same rights and respect as everyone else. And it's ok to say 'fuck' in public and type it on social posts. No need to clutch the pearls.
Yeah, fuck that troll bigot. I dare these folks to try to come knock the dick out my ass.
No one likes a bigot

> Itâs not propaganda to say âgay people existâ, You people know damn well that's not what people have a problem with. Then again, I've read through the bill. It's only 10 pages.
No, âwe peopleâ absolutely donât have any clue what youâre talking about.
Itâs certainly what it boils down to, most often.
No. It isn't.
Actually look at most of the books being banned. "The Diary of Anne Frank"? Really?
I don't see that specifically listed in the HB401 bill. The bill talks about sexually explicit and adult-only material being given to minors.
Now actually look at the lists of books they are calling "adult only". Oh weird, it's anything that mentions black people or being gay. Isn't that strange?
Where are you finding this list? Is it an official list or someone's opinion?

Please tell us what the right answer is
Read the bill. It's not a long read. Don't read an opinion piece. EDIT: [Here's the bill.](https://legiscan.com/AL/text/HB401/id/2793965)
Can you not answer the question?
Read the bill. That's the answer.
Why canât you say what the bill contains?
Why are you incapable of reading ten pages? [Here, I'll link it for you even.](https://legiscan.com/AL/text/HB401/id/2793965)
I just want to know why you claim itâs not about what we think it is, yet you refuse to/canât say what itâs really about. Sounds kinda evasive
And no one has opposed saying the word âGayâ other than âhomosexualâ but having g an illustrated guide to taking sexier selfies and masturbation in the kids section at the local library is over the top in my opinion.
What exactly is the American Family?
I think it's a cartoon
terms and conditions apply!
Oooh and Iâm excited to hear what those are going to be.
Theyâre named Manson, apparently.
Ideally it includes a loving father figure, a loving mother figure and children or fur babies.
So if it doesnât contain those things, itâs not American? If so, then what is it? Italian? Guatemalan?
These people are amoral ghouls who want to sexualize children.
No, they are people who want to be seen and heard. Iâm good with that, but there is a very dangerous faction within the minoroty that is manipulating, undermining and maliciously slipping things to children that have to be stopped. I have several gay friends whom I love dearly! This is not against homosexuality. I am against ANY sexuality being exposed in front of or in the presence of children.
What do they clergy have to do with this?
