      You believe the Brooklyn Public Library’s UnBanned Books project is about grooming children for pedophiles? And not just unrestricted access to books in the same way that kids have unrestricted access to the internet?

        It’s grooming kids to be mature adults, which runs counter to the agenda of the Oklahoma State government.

          This is some disgusting, slithery, agenda pushing smut. I can not believe this was posted where kids could see it. You should be ashamed.

          You’re so fucking stupid. Maybe you should read any of those books you claim are being pulled as “pornography.”

          pornographic material

          Real Fahrenheit 451 Hours. Excited to hear which books you’re objecting to, specifically. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? The Diary of Anne Frank? To Kill a Mockingbird? The Catcher in the Rye?

          books that apparently are for an audience as young as 13 years old.

          Wait till you find out what these kids are looking at on Netflix.

              All this proved is that you believe books on LGBTQ rights are pornography, somehow. Children of the age specified in this program (13+) are at the age where they will begin to question their sexuality, by denying them any outlet or healthy way to understand this concept is to essentially stunt their emotional development. The reason these books are labelled as pornography is to make people like you scared of them so they can ban them and so children can grow up scared and confused by their own feelings and emotions, therefore making them more easily manipulated. This is likely what has happened to you, you have been groomed to think this way.

      And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need full public library access for all: so no-one else ends up with a vapid mind like this.

          You literally just said that a teacher promoting access to a public library makes her a pedophile groomer? hard to believe you support access for all.

            They suffer from doublethink. They can hold two mutually exclusive ideals as fact at the same time. It is kinda wild what a broken brain can do to itself.

          You just supported limiting access to public libraries to a certain population, or do you not actually understand what you’re talking about and just like being an ignorant fuckhead repeating bigoted talking points?

      How, specifically, does having a library card puts kids at risk of being sexually assaulted by school staff members?

          She covered her books and directed students to get a library card from a source that is aligned against the book ban. You said this makes her a pedophile groomer, implying she is trying to sexually assault the kids. How?

          Don’t be a coward, answer the question :)

              Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

              You are always wrong…that must get frustrating.

              Three books out of thousands had sexually explicit content, but the reason these books are controversial because they have literary and educational value. There are many who want to maintain the intellectual freedom to engage with those ideas instead of banning them. For instance, Idaho’s recent book ban received overwhelming opposition from the public. Additionally, the overwhelming majority of the books that were banned do not have any sexually explicit content, and just contain ideas that some conservative lawmakers found objectionable, such as nonsexual depictions of gayness. The law was written with extremely vague definitions, likely to have this exact effect where huge amounts of information are removed.

              Are you saying that everyone who disagrees with these book bans are deliberately engaging in pedophilia and want to rape children? That is what “pdo groomer” means, which is what you said about the teacher. Please answer this question, you have been avoiding it. I really want to know if you actually think the teacher wants to rape the kids she works with. Is that what you think?

                  Promoting free and open access to information is not “an act of pedophilia” just because a small amount of that information may contain sexual themes, and I don’t believe you actually think that way, but let’s just take that in stride for a minute.

                  Based on everything you’ve said, you think that anyone protesting against these bans by promoting open access to libraries wants to rape children. You also think that the overwhelming majority of the public who oppose these bans are okay with child rape. Is this correct?

                  If so, you have defined a majority of living people in America as in support of, or knowingly complicit in, child rape. Do you think that’s accurate or reasonable? Or are you just playing word games to get what you want?

                  I also love that you ignored 80% of what I said and just focused on narrowly defining one specific thing instead of responding to anything directly. Ignore everything about the structure and language of the laws, the absence of sexual themes in banned works, the extreme levels of unnecessary and vague censorship, etc…

                  Also you’re just wrong, pedophilia is a passive trait while grooming is an active attempt to fuck kids. You’re just redefining words at this point.

      All I see is a pdo groomer, grooming children

      Given the right wing’s well established tendency to project their own sins onto the left, your spurious accusation here would seem to say more about you than it does about the teacher

          Cool story. So, which books were pornographic? Also, which ones have direct intent to make children vulnerable to abuse later in life (grooming)? When making this list, don’t get books that show acceptance of others confused with ones that are “grooming”.

          To anyone else that has it handy, I misplaced my MASSIVE list of actual groomers and pedos that this person may find interesting (it is pretty much all conservatives and religious leaders…there is a small scattering of other walks of life but they are collectively a huge minority).
