About that lady of #florida #Sarasota schoolboard member, co founder of #momsforliberty, seeking to #banbooks and fighting #lgbtq rights… while having sex with an other woman and her husband in a so-called threesome. Another example of « Do as I say… » which illustrates, as everyone knows, the concept of #liberty That young man is exceptional!

@design_law. "Prohibiting certain kinds of books." If #Scholastic is going to give schools the option to #Banbooks, at least have the courage to call it what it is -- #racism, #whitesupremacy, #homophobia -- and not hide behind this nauseating, cowardly language of obfuscation.
The sweeping #redstate drive to roll back #CivilRights & #liberties
by Ron Brownstein
Since 2021, #Republican-controlled states have passed a swarm of #laws to restrict #VotingRights, increase penalties for #public #protest, impose new restrictions on #transgender youth, #BanBooks, & limit what #teachers, #college #professors, & #employers can say about #race, #gender, & #SexualOrientation.

Folks who think it’s sensible, reasonable, moral to #banbooks, eliminate #DEI, spread anti #CRT (Critical Race Theory) #propaganda, support anti #AffirmativeAction, (struck down by the largely corrupt #SCOTUS) should
read #Caste by #IsabelWilkerson
I recognize none of this is reasonable.
It’s deliberate. It’s fear of a multi racial society. It’s #racism, built in to the fabric of this nation.
#July4th celebration- the hope we grow in to e pluribus unum.

#EQUALITY CALIFORNIA APPLAUDS NEWLY-RELEASED JOINT LETTER ON BOOK BANS AND INCLUSIVE #EDUCATION
A growing number of school districts across #California are seeking to #banbooks and censor curriculum discussing racism and the experiences of #LGBTQ people
Any person wishing to #banbooks must first read the book in its entirety and write a 5 page report why it should be banned, not just partake in the game of fascism

DeSantis’s shameless defense of the Amanda Gorman fiasco is revealing https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/26/desantis-amanda-gorman-poem-book-bans/
DeSantis’s shameless defense of the Amanda Gorman fiasco is revealing
“#DeSantis objects to calling what happened a “ban.” But the book was placed beyond the reach of elementary school kids for no reason whatsoever. What message does it send that a school went along with the idea that the poem read by the young Black poet at Biden’s inauguration is inappropriate for children, on grounds that it constitutes hate and indoctrination?”

One of the things people nowadays really don't understand was the vital importance of #segregation to fostering systematic #racism. It's why the Alt-Right wants people to #BanBooks and fear #DragShows.
Being able to SEE and LEARN about other ways of life and other cultures educates most people away from #bigotry. But if people (espec kids) can't interact with or learn from "outside" social groups, they won't understand and SEE the injustices being put upon those groups.
Being UNable to interact with other races and LGBTQ status is why things like dehumanization and discrimination could go unchallenged for so long by so many otherwise "good people."
It's why fighting #BookBans and why making film & TV media more inclusive for women, #LGBTQ, and POC people really MATTERS.
@flexghost Reprehensible!
Sure, OK to #BanBooks, #DragQueens and #Trans but NOT #guns
Seems to be a lot of #legislation being proposed/passed in the name of #protectingchildren. In addition to #dragshows, there is a push to #banbooks.
When I was a junior in high school, we were assigned a book report. When asked what I was doing my on I told the teacher #DeepThroat. When she said that was fine, I asked her if she realized a movie had just been released based on the book and it was at the center of a lot of controversy. She told me "I cannot dictate what you read." What a fantastic teacher!
Oh, I wound up getting the highest grade in the class on my report. I'm not sure, but I believe it "tingled her juices" if you know what I mean.
Come on people, let kids be kids!! They are exposed to much more explicit content on television, the internet, and from you at home!
#Mrs.Banks, you were an inspiration to us all.
#Peace...

#fascism we need to be a well informed society rather than white washing history.
“Don’t trust people who give you easy answers/promises for complex problems.” #trump
“Don’t let charismatic leaders capitalize on fear” it’s a ploy for power. It’s #propaganda
