'Book-banning crusade' across the U.S.: What does it cost American taxpayers?

If you don't live in PA none of your tax money is going to the reviews.
These homophobic witch hunts are happening in multiple states, costing taxpayers MILLIONS.

I understood that conservatives stood for fiscal responsibility - is that not so?
Drama queen much?
Irrelevant personal attack.
Not only that, it's about age appropriate materials being made available, zero books have been banned.
See OP links for lists of banned books.
So that makes you and your source liars.
See above; irrelevant/fallacious personal attack.
 
Since when did Amazon become a public school or a library? FuckBoi.

These books are being banned from schools and libraries. They are not being banned from sale and no one has suggested they are.

Please take a reading comprehension course and understand what the actual topic is: the cost to the taxpayers in banning books from public schools and libraries.

At a time, when public schools are reeling from the costs of schooling during Covid, and trying to get students caught up after a year of remote learning, parents and school boards are instead focussed on banning books from their libraries, and spending inordinate amounts of money, fighting such bans.
The monetary cost is meaningless when it comes to our children. They're OUR children, not the state's
 
What exactly are your qualifications to determine the suitability of these works. What are your specific degrees? Education? Psychology? Law? The State of Florida requires that the books be reviewed and read only by fully qualified people, and that boards have to have one of these people on staff.

You sit at your computer and you say how ridiculous it is and you would do it cheaper. School boards and public libraries, two institutions which are exactly generously endowed with funds here, are pissing away precious taxpayer dollars dealing with these idiot attempts to ban books.

Let's talk about how ridiculous it is to ban books from Public Libraries. If these clowns want to ban books, let them put up the money for the reviews.

Read the list of books they're tryiing to ban: To Kill A Mockingbird; The colour purple; The Diary of Anne Frank; The Handmaid's Tale; 1984 is the most banned book of all time. Anything that talks about racism, the Holocaust, or celebrates non-white cultures
Superb reply, but was Mockingbird under fire from conservatives or liberals?

Or both?

While I don't believe in altering works to "update" them, this liberal effort is far less odious than conservative efforts to ban books altogether.

Book banning = The new book burning

Is that why the Left hate the only nation in the ME that not only recognizes all homo marriages but doesn’t execute them like their neighbors you fascists cheer?

Who died and made you the King of the World, FuckBoi??? You don't get to tell others what to do just so you can declare them a liar if they refuse to follow orders.

Do your own fucking research you lazy little shit. Failure for your do and YOU will have proven you're just a useless FuckBoi.
OMG

:clap2:

Reminder to self:

Don't piss Dragonlady off... :eek:
 
I think you should read a wee bit more carefully.
It was a bit of a strong reply, but her point - as mine - is that there is a LOT of work necessitated by these witch hunts, and thus a great deal of cost.

It's in the millions.

:(

DL for the ongoing thread win. :)
 
Is that why the school is spending money, reviewing content they already know about? You wanna run with that some more, moron?

Because they have to review it in such a fashion that the reviews can go before a court of law. And there has to be more than one review, and one opinion for the courts to look at.

Last, but not least, they can’t allow the person who made the decision to put the book on the shelf in the first place, the librarian, to conduct these reviews. The state of Florida specifically says what degrees and qualifications any person doing reviews on reading material must have in order to make decisions on behalf of the state as to what is appropriate.

Didn’t you read any of the links in the OP or do any of your own research.

The reason you clowns fall for so much bullshit is you never look into anything that these right wing hate groups are claiming. Mostly they’re just grifter groups looking for donations, but there is a real cost to the taxpayers in fending these hate groups off.

The vast majority of the parents in the school districts want these book banners run out of town for wasting their time and their money. These outside agitators to get one or two parents riled up and then they’re often running

Poor little commie liar, if you click on the links, everyone of those supposedly banned books are available for purchase. How could that be if they were truly BANNED? Run along propagandist, your commie lies are really getting stale.

Why do you hate democracy commie? State legislatures, elected by voters of the State, have established these laws, who the hell are you to say you know better than them?

If democrats ran a blockbuster video they would mix gay porn in with the kids section and call anyone who said anything about it a movie banner.

Notice many of the WEF shillbots and NPCs are hyper focused on getting their sexualized groomer books back in schools.

Another attack on America and Americans

Yes, they are OUR children. Not just YOURS, but every other parent that lives in the nation.

What is happening is that this radical right wing group is riling up one or two parents in a school district who start demanding books being banned from the schools and then the entire school board hast to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend freedom of speech for all parents.

This radical right wing group has a goal of shutting down public education in the United States, and they’re using these frivolous lawsuits for publicity, and to starve the system of funds.

Just like QAnon promotes itself as being opposed to paedophiles to promote its radical right wing agenda, moms against liberty are using pornography in your schools. What sort of asshole defends paedophiles or pornography or groomers. That’s what makes these campaigns so effective.

Banning books says that the state is determining what my children can read and I don’t want them determining that and neither should you.

It’s your job to keep inappropriate materials out of your kids hands and to supervise what younger children read. Banning books is asking the state to do your job.

I wish you people would be far more concerned about what young children are seeing on television. That has a far far bigger impact than anything that they have a read in books.

Democrats believe your children are theirs and if they want to expose your children to porn, it's their right.
