Why do school board hearings cut parents from reading sexually explicit excerpts because of children?

[CrusaderFrank]

Can anyone explain this logic? Parents concerned about sexually explicit content available in school libraries for children to read take their case to school board meetings, read the excerpts to demonstrate how explicit this is for children, then the board cuts them off because children are present either in-person or virtually? Yet the boards stand firm on leaving the book in place.

Why do the parents allow themselves to be cut off

They should DEMAND the school Board immediately resign!

It means you're biased homo.
I'm sure that a homo would never admit he was crazy even if it was clinically proven.

Bias is natural. We are all biased. I'm not gay but I have a gay brother and gay cousins so I am certainly biased towards them, but again, that doesn't mean wrong. The thing about crazy people and clinical proof is that there is proof, not just supposition but objective, scientific proof and that proof doesn't require the consent of the insane to be recognized as such. As I said before, college educated scientists don't stand with you. You have no objective support for your beliefs. Only emotionally driven bigotry.

If a kid is emancipated, he can marry at 16. You don't think they should know something about it before they get married?

That doesn't answer the question, does it?

Thank you for admitting what we all found painfully obvious.

Thanks for proving the only arguments you can win are the ones you can reframe.

Then the parents will be deemed terrorists and put on watch lists.

I have always advocated age appropriateness.

Then why are you supporting this school board who is not addressing exactly that.

 

[BULLDOG]

My issue really is how full of shit these boards are telling parents not to read aloud passages from these books because they are offensive yet they hold firm on leaving them on the shelves.

In that case, the difference between a G rating and PG13 must make your head explode.

I didn't try to compare Shakespeare to pornography--try again chivo.

Do you have any idea what the PG signifies?

You can't even define pornography. I was pointing out that there is content that deals with incest in a lot of Shakespeare's work and obviously you are okay with that. The point being that you are okay with some level of sexual content in public school including incest. If that's the case then the conversation is no longer about whether sexual content should be allowed or not allowed but what type of sexual content should be allowed. Obviously you're on the pro incest content side.

This ^^^ is called reframing, moron. What grade school are you using as an example that has the works of Shakespeare in the school library. Try again.

No reason to believe they aren't addressing it.

High-school. Maybe some advanced middle school classes.

Also I didn't reframe a damn thing. Everything I said was a fact.

Heterosexuality has always been taught in school. There is much more to sexuality than the plumbing in a sex act. When they are old enough to start learning about reproduction, they are old enough to age appropriately start learning about sexuality.

Not your place to decide when others children should learn about YOUR sexuality or anyone elses.

Since they stifled the parents protest and did nothing to answer their concerns illustrates exactly that they are not addressing it -- did you read the OP?

You damn sure did reframe it, dumbass. Maybe you should go back to the OP and pay attention this time. The point of the matter was that this school board was unresponsive to the parents and in so doing failed to grasp the irony that they did not want potential younger streaming audience to see and hear exactly what the parent was concerned with, effectively censoring the parent. If the thread had not been hijacked, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Please stay on topic.

Just because a book with sexual content is offered by the school system doesn't mean it's offered everywhere. Hamlet is probably in the high-schools library but probably not the elementary schools.

And I am sure that this fine parent was not protesting the offerings of the high school. Watch the tweet or STFU and quit trying to hijack the thread.

Nothing in that tweet suggests anything other than this content is available in the school system which includes high-school.

Yes, I did read the OP and watched the video. The one lady who spoke didn't differentiate between age groups, as if not being appropriate for the very young means it wasn't appropriate for the older students.
