You do? With your kids? You know there are groomers out there, right?
I live in a town of 1900 people. I personally know the 70+ year old librarian, and went to school with her kids. Sure, I know there are groomers out there, and not everyone can live in Mayberry, but that's my situation.

Can someone please tell me how this got in front of a federal judge
Posted on 4/12/23 at 2:39 pm to saintforlife1
Why don't they just ignore the judge's order?

So unless I fall on the side of absolutely nothing being inappropriate for young children to see, read, and explore, I'm setting up a premise to be used against me in the future? I guess I'll have to live with that. Your terms are acceptable.
Didn't say that. Nice attempt to spin though. Feel free to follow along and address what I said. I'm staring to question if you can string together several posts to arrive at a coherent rebuttal.

Let me guess, because it is inappropriate for children?
Inappropriate and.................what?

How do you go about avoiding something to which you are unaware? Have you scoured your local library for content? Yeah, I haven't either. But I trust the adults in charge there who would never dream of putting a book explaining, illustrating, or advocating deviant sex to a child.
How do you prepare them for anything they encounter in the world? You can't be there for them all the time.

So you live in a small town that you reference as Mayberry and think your solution to the problem will help the majority of the state let alone most of the country.
Have a good day.

Why not? I was getting my hands on them at 9-10 years old.
Penthouse
Playboy
Hustler
High Society....waited until I was 12.

What is inappropriate for school children if sexuality, deviant or otherwise, is not?

Just say what you want to say, or not. I'm not playing games with you, this isn't a contest, and I'm not fighting any culture war for republicans or anyone else.

The best way I can, just like anyone else. When I'm not there for them, I make sure that the people who are, are decent human beings. Before you know it, they are grown.

You mean my solution to not allow the library to put inappropriate material in front of young children? Yes, it will help the majority of the state and the country too. If your solution includes putting inappropriate material in front of children, you might be a groomer.

I'll do just that, thanks.

Look, I may not like the subject matter of some of these books (the farting snowman does sound intriguing, though), but I don't go for book bans. It's just too Joseph Goebbels for my liking.
Book ban would imply the book isn't available even outside the school library, from my understanding these removals have more to do with age appropriateness. Playboy isn't allowed in a school library, but it certainly isn't banned

Nobody uses the library anymore

That's not the question being discussed. The real question is do you believe that banning books will be used against you in the future. That is the premise I referenced and what we've been talking about the whole time. Not some morality tangent you keep trying to go off on.
So, do you believe that banning books will be used against you in the future?

Ah it's against the law. You are playing games by not stating the obvious.

Obviously not. You've mentioned trusting the adults in change but are also bitching about the decision the "adult in charge" made to return the book.
Once again. I'm not disagreeing with you that it is wrong but your approach would be more detrimental than the books itself.

Afraid not pal. You're applying a solution in a controlled environment to one with an unlimited amount of variables.

Coming from someone who "trusts" the adults with his kids.

Books indoctrinating kids with trans and gay bullshite, graphically describing gay sex (or any sex acts) acts to children etc. can frick off. They have no place in a library where kids have access to them.

People wonder why Texas is ranked 40th in the nation in education.

I'm almost certain that I told you about 5 posts ago that I can live with that, if it keeps inappropriate material out of the hands of school children.

Okay, it's against the law. Is it against the law if I want to hand a child sexually explicit material? If so, why would it be any different for a library?

I mentioned trusting adults I trust. Not deviant librarians or judges who support killing unborn children.

And I'm not disagreeing with you on that point. But I have no problem fighting that fight when the time comes. There has to be a line in the sand somewhere. If someone wants to make the case that the Civil War, or the Life and Times of Ronald Reagan are inappropriate for children, they'll have to prove it.

So would you be okay with homosexual pornography in the children's section? Because that's what a lot of these books amount to.
Well, actually that's what it's all about..indoctrination of your kids...looks like libraries are ground zero for the alphabet movement!

Make that book available to 18 y.o. and older. Not sure why that would be an issue.
