Zone1 Banning books is wrong

[Tommy Tainant]

A craze that seems to have run its course.
It seems to be less popular than it was lasst year. Maybe everything has been banned.
Im going to put forward an unpopular viewpoint.
I agree with the first amendment.
Thats one of the more unpopular parts of the US constitution.
I dont believe in banning books. I dont believe in banning ideas that I dont like.
Thats a bit unfashionable these days.
Nobody ever told me what I could or couldnt read.
I think reading stuff makes you a more balanced adult. Better educated.
Many of the book bans centred on Gay topics.
I think they should be available to youngsters.
Firstly they would help teens growing up and struggling with it.
Secondly it would combat the hate that we see on these boards which is a stain on america.
Much of that uses a faux religous cober for outright prejudice.
I think better educated kids will be happier kids less likely to kill each other.
Of course there needs to be some streaming of titles. Some books would be wasted on kids if they are too young to appreciate them. But not banned by zealots.
A b etter informed world is a better world.

I'm a 1st Amendment absolutist.
Having said that, that does NOT mean that children should have access to everything.

Graphic sex books, OF ANY SORT, are not appropriate for CHILDREN.

Groomers need to be shot.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Exactly. No books have been banned.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Premise of thread is dishonest; thus the thread should be closed.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Exactly. No books have been banned.

There is an organisation called Moms for Liberty. They dosagree.

Boards of education have the right to control what their children read.

Our schools are administered locally, not the product of an authoritarian bureaucratic national government.

Anyone that wants access to those books can go to Amaz0n or B&N and get them. Many are available at city libraries.

Books aren't being banned, stahp being a useful idiot.

 

[MisterBeale]

There is an organisation called Moms for Liberty. They dosagree.

Do you understand the difference between a book ban, and making decisions about what books are available in schools?

 

[OODA_Loop]

No books were banned. Some books and subject matter were deemed inappropriate for public school libraries.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

That is wrong.

 

[OODA_Loop]

That is wrong.

It is not wrong to restrict access to certain materials from distribution in public schools.

 

[midcan5]

Books and knowledge frighten people, especially so called conservatives and religious. That apple myth still holds. That darn Eve, they always blame the women.

 

[westwall]

There is an organisation called Moms for Liberty. They dosagree.

No, they disagree with you.

Moron.

 

[OODA_Loop]

"Liberals" believe they can expose their and other children to anything at any age with no consequence.

Its why their kids and our education system are whacked.

The consequence is kids not growing up as bigots.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

No, they disagree with you.

Moron.

Reading a few books about being gay might have helped you.

 

[OODA_Loop]

The consequence is kids not growing up as bigots.

What is a bigot? Someone that disagrees with that which you hold dear?
