They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive

    Red states have already passed legislation classify any book that has any form ofnLGBT representation as obscene and not fit for school libraries. It’s the same process on a bigger scale.

          That doesn’t support your comment at all.

          Also, this:

          ​​“Once again, far left activists are pushing the book ban hoax on Floridians,” Booker said. “The better question is why do these activists continue to fight to expose children to sexually explicit materials.”

          How about just not describing how to eat someone’s arsehole in a book for 4-6 year olds? Ever thought that might be inappropriate?

            Wow this literally could not be any more of a bad faith take. You decide to ignore the entire article for a statement by the lying administration spokesperson.

              🙄

              The entire article is bullshit, pretending that it’s about something it’s not. Just don’t give graphic, sexually explicit books to children. Why is that so hard for you guys?

                  I’m sure you can google the books that were “banned” (though not really banned, just removed from school libraries as they were highly inappropriate). Just like they don’t put playboy magazines in schools, they’re not “banned” they’re just not in school libraries.

                    See here’s the thing, it’s not my job to prove your argument correct. So if you aren’t going to take the time to defend your own point, why should I take the time to do it for you?

                    No titles to prove these books were inapropriate? Then stop posting and stop lying that these removals and bans aren’t just targeted attempts at censoring authors writing about non-cis non-het non-white topics.

                What are the titles of the graphic sexually explicit books that you believe are being give to children?
