Topic	Republicans banning books

Show me the books a liberal school board has banned. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2020/05/08/book-banning-is-a-bipartisan-game/ BlackScythe0 posted... A few? You jest. You are comparing kids on the internet complaining to people in positions of governmental authority banning things. I mean, to be fair, school libraries themselves tend to be overwhelmingly liberal so a lot of books that might get banned by Democrats are never let in at all. That's why the Democrats are often focused more on banning classic works of literature -- things already in the collections -- while Republicans frequently make headlines for trying to block more modern stuff. BlackScythe0 posted... They can't tell the difference. ...says a guy known for his wildly disingenuous comparisons. kangolcone posted... After a brief search, it would appear that this happened first in Mississippi in 2017. You know, that famous liberal enclave known as the state of Mississippi. >Says no cherrypicking >Advances an outrageously cherrypicked excuse But then again, he'd have to advance stuff like that when the famous conservative enclave known as New Jersey and equally conservative areas were pushing for Huck Finn's ban. adjl posted... It can, yes. Ultimately, the concept boils down to "I don't like something about you, so I'm not going to support you anymore." ...that's not what it fucking is. You're just completely redefining shit. adjl posted... I can't say that I have any concrete figures, given that I was not part of the group in question, but I'd estimate that a solid third (if not half) of my grade 7 class (12-13) was sexually active. Either that's hyperbolic or hyper... well, drawing a blank on the word. Anyway, I'm probably calling bullshit on it being that high. That might be the number of students who wish they were sexually active, but it's probably not the number. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:962175351] in Republican...
