Show me the books a liberal school board has banned.

Providing a specific example isnt cherry picking, its presenting factual evidence. Now, if all you have is hyperbole and rhetoric, move along.

Wanting offensive stuff censored pretty universally crosses party lines. You just notice it more when it's the left that's complaining because those complaints tend to amount to "we need to stop giving this objectively harmful behaviour a free pass," while you've generally enjoyed giving it a free pass for as long as you've been aware of it.

it wasn't the left that caused that

it was peter dinklage trying to keep his monopoly on being a little person actor by trying to prevent others from also getting a break in the system

he literally played a dwarf but doesn't want others to be able to do that

Do you not?

I just get so confused by the connections that are made. The original Snow White is still readily available on Disney+ and through online purchase at many retailers. Moreover, the original story is in public domain and anybody can make a movie about Snow White and the Seven Dwarves as long as you dont call them the names.

I also dont see how Peter Dinklage voicing his opinion on a Disney remake is the same as a government authority banning a book.

Projection is the modus operandi of conservatives. Screaming about degeneracy while they have lovers or victims stuffed in their closets, screaming about cancellation as they disown their queer children and ban everything from books to sex positions to clothes, sniveling and moaning about being oppressed while they lynch jogging black people, crying about the Constitution while they fantasize about Civil War 2.0 and have been trying to dismantle voting rights for decades...

Conservatives are the kings of cancel culture. Ask any one of the literal hundreds of thousands of homeless queer children. Aw, but you get criticized on Twitter! So sad for you! Your life is so hard! You're so oppressed!

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.

Care to take another swing? This time presenting an actual case instead of naming a book which was banned in a conservative state before it was banned anywhere in California.

Also, a lot of what Im seeing is removing it from required reading lists and not banning.

Seems like they removed it (not banned. That's different.) from their curriculum over female nudity, profanity, and questions of if content (like hangings) was appropriate for 8th grade students. Which makes me wonder why it was on there in the first place. So firstly, they're not 'banning' it, they're removing it from the curriculum. That's not the same. Presumably if a student got caught with a copy of it there wouldn't be an issue. I think those reasons are stupid for 8th graders who should be old enough to handle at least some of that content. I get why they'd want the female nudity not shown to minors, but profanity and things like hanging/killing children (especially in cartoon form)? They've seen/heard worse.

If they were actually banning it I would be outraged, but reading curriculum's change all the time and I don't THINK they're trying to cover up the holocaust or w/e. Even if they were it's one school. I'd want to keep an eye on them, but by itself it doesn't seem that concerning (if stupid in why they're removing it from the curriculum barring that one image).

Funny it has generally been the republicans i.e. conservative Christians and the like doing this my entire 44 years on the planet. Only recently have those on the left been looking to censor stuff. I am not really a fan of either, but I think there is a pretty big difference between schools banning books and a company removing an image that some may deem offensive.

Maybe older teens, but we're talking teens who are roughly 12-14 years old.

Edit: And I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm saying it's not them banning the book outright for reasons (at least stated) like them trying to cover up history or something and, instead, for at least semi-understandable reasons.

At any rate, this is absurd. I read "The Cage: A Holocaust Memoir" and "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" in 3rd grade, non-fiction accounts of the Holocaust and American chattel slavery respectively. People give children too little credit.

*shrug* Republicans use cancel culture to describe the death of Ashli Babbitt. And considering they're tearing their hair out over the apparently world-ending horror that is cancel culture, I see no reason why I shouldn't meet Republicans where they are in terms of what THEY think cancel culture is.

12-14 year olds are having sex with each other. You think they can't handle reading about women's nipples?

It's an graphic novel about the Holocaust. There's no way to make it pretty. And it's certainly suitable for teenagers.

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." In a commercial setting, that amounts to not buying whatever goods/services they are involved in creating, with "cancelling" happening when that happens on a large enough scale that their opinions/actions become a financial liability (resulting in no more job if their parent company decides they're too much of a liability), but the concept can be applied just as easily to a personal scale, in which case kicking a child out is probably the ultimate example of it.

America is so goddamn backwards. Never mind that you can almost certainly count on one hand the number of kids in any given 8th grade class that haven't watched at least some porn, and statistically, most of those are likely to be ones that see female nudity every time they change their clothes.

Yea... I'm gonna call that a 'no'. Least not regularly. Boys are just starting to discover that girls don't have cooties and maybe want to do things with them while girls usually aren't that interested at that age. Maybe when they're 15 to 16 and even then it's hardly them just fucking all the time (else teen pregnancy would be through the roof). Either way, I do think it's reasonable enough.

I totally agree. It's utterly stupid that we have no real problem showing people killing other people even to relatively young kids, but showing the creation of new life? Likely in a loving embrace and half the population already being familiar with at least one of the two sets? ABHORRANT! BAN IT! Stupid. I'd much rather have my kids look at two people in love expressing it in the most intimate way possible than, say, running around shooting people up wildly like in GTA (which, let's be honest, a lot of teens and kids play even if they're not supposed to). But even something like FFVIIR in which we not only kill tons of mooks and see one on-screen death (via explosion no less), one likely death, and someone getting run through with a sword? Teen. Obviously I don't think we should be showing explicit content to kids, but the puritanical reaction is insane (especially since most of them are well aware of porn by 16-17).

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. Obviously, that's anecdotal, a very rough estimate, and too small a sample size to make any major generalizations, but the fact remains that sex in grade 8 is not that uncommon, even if it's not necessarily enough of a majority to be the norm. And that's looking specifically at intercourse, so even those that didn't go that far until later were often engaging in other sexual activity well before doing so.

Just because your peers never wanted to do anything like that with you specifically, doesn't mean young teenagers don't have sex. And if this is your honest summarization of teenage sexuality, you were either completely socially inept as a teenager, or you grew up in the 1800s.

Or, ya know, I decided to remain abstinent until marriage? That IS a thing, especially among religious families (of which I am a part of). Either way, the most 'sexual' anyone in my friend group got was a lesbian girl hitting on other girls (who weren't interested.) The boys did their own thing and the girls kept true to the upbringing.

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.

He was specifically responding to the example given.

Zeus posted...
...that's not what it f***ing is. You're just completely redefining s***.

And how would you define it? Bear in mind that (in case me explicitly indicating that I was doing so didn't make it clear enough) I distilled the concept down to the ultimate relationship between the attitude and the practical consequence, so if you give a definition that has not been similarly distilled, be aware that there's a good chance I'll distill it for you and end up right back where I started.

Zeus posted...
Either that's hyperbolic or hyper... well, drawing a blank on the word. Anyway, I'm probably calling bulls*** 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.

https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/SSuN-Fact-Sheet-Age1stSex-04-10-13.pdf

A single study is hardly conclusive, but that's finding 23.7% of guys had sex by age 13. 51.2% had done so by age 15 (grade 9), along with 47.3% of girls. That's obviously lower than my estimate for grade 7, but not by that much. and it roughly tracks for grade 8. I also went to a school that covered one of the city's major public housing neighbourhoods and therefore had more black students than the general population's demographics would suggest, and I would expect that to bring the average down based on the racial stats there (and, less concretely, cultural differences among lower-SES groups).

Again, mine is a very rough, anecdotal estimate, so drawing any broader statistical conclusions from it would be silly, but the fact of the matter is that a significant number of people are sexually active by grade 8.

I can almost guarantee that more of your peers were sexually active than you thought, and probably even younger than the general average. They just didn't admit to it because the local culture pressured them into being ashamed of that.

That true. Though, it seems like you were saying something doesn't happen much when based on the responses here (and our personal experiences), it seems to happen quite often to other people in this discussion. Which would mean. Chances are that, based on the people here, you were wrong...

I can almost guarantee that more of your peers were sexually active than you thought, and probably even younger than the general average. They just didn't admit to it because the local culture pressured them into being ashamed of that.

Sorry to disappoint, but it's extremely unlikely. Like I said, lots of religion + pro-abstinence training, none of them were dating anyone until after 18, and so-forth. While it's certainly not IMPOSSIBLE, there was absolutely no evidence that it happened (especially since the class was all pretty close and it likely wouldn't have been secret for long). If you think whatever school you attended is representative of all teens, I'm sorry to say it's not.

Not sure if that matters. Many people raised with lots of religion + pro-abstinence training still did stuff. I had a few cousins that did, and many people are school. And many of my friends who went to my private school (which was associated with a church) mentioned it, as well... So, just because those things happen doesn't mean much... Also, dating isn't always required... Though, some people do secretly date...

I think you school is less likely representative of teenagers. But that's based on how out of everyone here, you're the only one saying teems probably didn't sex. So, based on the people in this topic, you'd be the odd one out. Meaning, if anything, chances say that it's actually whatever school you attended is not a representative of most, if not all, teens...

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273920886_Can_Sex_Education_Delay_Early_Sexual_Debut

Pro-abstinence training tends to result in earlier sex, not later. What's worse, it tends to be sex where neither partner knows anything about birth control or STI's, so you get higher STI rates and teen pregnancy rates in areas that prioritize abstinence over comprehensive sex ed.

It's not impossible that your cohort actually did end up waiting until they were older, but that's very much the exception, not the norm, especially when they're being over the head with "if you have sex you'll get pregnant and die."

Sure you can cherry pick a few instances of Republicans banning things, but liberals are notorious for their cancel culture and wanting anything that remotely offends them removed/banned.

Way I see it. Both sides like to censor different things. As a kid, constantly upset about books, TV, and video games censored due to the right wing agenda. As a adult, I often find social media and cancel culture more prominent in the news lead by the left side.
