Ohio School Board Bans Unicorn Book

[Road Runner]

Okay, so I know it's pretty woke to try and influence children of homosexuality or any of that other kind of LGBT stuff, but I think that it's also just as woke to try and ban innocent books about unicorns and rainbows.

Ban LGBTQ+ and leave the unicorns, rainbows and language alone. Degenerates shouldn't be allowed to pervert the meanings of innocent objects.

Please tell me this is a joke.

How about coloring books of pretty unicorns that don't identify as anything other than unicorns.
Let our children be children and stop grooming them to be something other than what they are...

I wish it was.

I cant understand what wrong with these ghouls in the shape of human beings. Why would they find children using their imagination offensive? kids have been dreaming about rainbows, butterflies and unicorns forever. So the article mentioned ONE parent complained... and they pull all the books.

By that logic, what happens when one parent complains about CRT or teaching kids overt sexuality? do they throw out the agenda because of that one parents complaint? Nope.. not even when thousands do. Instead they call the FBI to investigate them

This looks like a wholly appropriate and really cute book. But this is what happens in Moral Panics and we just can't stop having them apparently.

I really really want that shirt that says "your moral panic is not my problem"

Actually it doesn't sound like it was the "Woke Mob" who wanted to ban the book. Sounds like one parent complained about the book which appears to have a pretty pro-woke message.

Kinda feels like that might be the exact message of the book.

When I was a child back in the 1970's we watched "HR Pufnstuff" and "Lidsville". Thank heavens none of THOSE things could possibly have double meanings.

And I remember a real toe-tapper a few years later on the radio by a band about staying at the YMCA. It sounded like fun and it had a great tune. You could really dance along to it.

Oh the olden days when things were innocent and clean.

Yes, this is an over-reaction.

But this is what happens when the left constantly expropriates ordinary innocent words and symbols and turns them into something that goes against the beliefs of ordinary Americans. The word “liberal,” is a perfect example. It used to be that libertarians, like myself, used that term to describe our belief in freedom. Then American socialists began using it to describe the most anti-freedom movement in American history since the slave trade.

Yes, unicorns and rainbows have an innocent meaning. But thanks to the anti-childhood left, they also have a more sinister meaning. Suppose I wrote a children’s book about a boy who is grumpy until he learns that by taking a happy attitude, he can be a happier person. Suppose I called it, “How Joey Learned to be Gay.”

Any objections?

I’m sure the liberals would love such a book and call people book burners for opposing it, so long as Joey learned to be happy sitting on the lap of his middle-aged social studies teacher.

The left is attempting to blur the lines of gender identity. Anything to divide the nation. And I'm not even a biologist.

Of course not

Homophobes get appointed to school boards

This has absolutely nothing to do with homophobia.

Pro wine?

Pro WOKE?

Can you please speak English?

Then don't ask such stupid questions,.. honey.

I'd feel very gay if that could ever happen, but it would feel queer to again use words that have been appropriated by the left.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Apparently it is. But that's not the point of the thread. If you would like to start a thread where people teach you how to read that's up to you.

Thanks. Please stay on topic.
