Pronoun fines and jail time for librarians: Republicans target LGBTQ+ rights with new laws

What sort of libraraies will these places be ?

The sort that knows how to spell "libraries", hopefully.

The Guardian? I bet you accuse the other side of watching Fox News.

All of the claims are referenced in the article. Are you claiming this isnt happening or just deflecting ?

It should be happening, the fact you think it shouldn't is disturbing

You’re the ones pushing for censorship these days. You all want conservatives banned and deplatformed. You want people banned for discussing political topics, and for criticizing government. Yet you want gay porn available to children. You are a psychopath.

They keep pursuing children....

These are librarians not catholic priests.

 

[Orangecat]

Best to keep them ignorant and believing abstinence works, eh?

Abstinence does work.
People who don't understand what the word "abstinence" means will laugh at this post, exposing their own ignorance.

More like public educators?

You're disturbing, Stumps

Nothing wrong with adult heterosexual sex. It is normal. And when kids get older they can have access to such things.

But we all know the groomers are pushing homosexuality and gender bender nonsense onto kids.…young kids.

The fact that you can’t make these distinctions shows you are clearly unable to make these decisions and you would be unqualified for a position that has contact with children.

But kids will have access to DH Lawrence if you dont ban it. Are you not sexualising children by not banning it ?

The central theme of the novel Tom Jones is that Tom has been fucking his mother. Should that be banned from North Dakota Public Library ?

Yes.

Now you've reached incest

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Yes

Why ?

Why are you using a logical fallacy to divert the topic?

Calling a person, he/she/them/they should be a matter of choice, no one has a right to tell you what or how to address another person. It is free speech, and we all have the right to acknowledge or not acknowledge another person.

The banning of books, school libraries should have books that are age appropriate. The public library should not be banning books, especially Huck Finn or Grapes of Wrath, the left always leaves these two out of the equation.

Its a relief that the pronoun bill was voted down. It should never have got that far.

And if I said that about Fox News or the Gateway Pundit, what would you say? The fact that you get your news from the Guardian just shows off your bias. Will you be using MSNBC as a source next?

I would be astonished if you could make that claim. It just doesnt happen.

This seems to be absurd on a taliban level.

It's typical of the neo-fascist authoritarian right's bigotry and hate.

Pronoun fines and jail time for librarians: Republicans target LGBTQ+ rights with new laws

More than 100 laws targeting LGBTQ+ communities have been filed across the US as attacks persist

www.theguardian.com

North Dakota seems to be a problematic place. Are they really going to send librarians to jail for stocking dirty books ?

This seems to be absurd on a taliban level. It seems like the argument has moved on from protecting the kids to protecting the adults. What sort of libraraies will these places be ?

Will Librarians be expected to read every book on their shelves to protect themselves ? I would if I was threatened with a jail sentence.

Libraries are places of learning. Where we go to learn about the world. This bill seems to be the antithesis of that aim. These people are bringing shame to America.

I got to tell you, these Republican state legislatures are a bunch of panty wastes. They have seen the enemy and it is not drug smugglers and drug dealers. It is not even armed BLM thugs rioting in the street. It is not mob bosses or Bloods and Crips. It is not predatory lenders, rent seeking monopolies, or wealthy tax cheats. Nope, it is librarians, gay and trans children and schoolteachers.

They have seen the problem. It is not inflation, a slowly recovering supply chain, immigration, or even the war in Ukraine. It is "woke" people, and "woke" corporations that dare change their M and M's or tweek the X-box.

The Republican party has always stood with the strong against the weak but now they are taking it to a new level. I suggest they change the name of the party from the Grand Old Party to the Grandiose Old PUSSIES.

The issue is lots of stupid bills make it in the state legislature, fortunately most all get shot down. Every once in a while, stupid makes it through. My state has banned new homes getting natural gas. Not sure why but they had time on their hands, so...
