What's up with this? Saw it posted on r/Louisiana today

Did you know opposing this makes you far right? The devil worshipping left going even further far left somehow makes a righty far right.

I did some digging into the organization. The crux of their argument is that the sexual scenes in lgbt books (discussed here ad nauseum) does not constitute as pornography because it's informational.

They say that just because books make people uncomfortable, they shouldn't be banned.

I'm going to join the group and propose that more informational books like "The Anarchist's Cookbook" get added back to library shelves.

Groomers need their grooming centers especially ones legitimized by historic institutions

I find it rather odd that Wokeism is all about burning books and controlling what people hear, see, and read. However, when folks push back from this Wokeism, it's called "far-right censorship" and makes national news.

A righty? shite.

I'm a true centrist and by today's standards I might as well be Hitler himself.

How many teenage or pre teens actually go to the parish library? How many have a smart phone? I don't have a problem per se with people not wanting it in the public library but don't delude yourself into thinking that it solves anything with all this information available online.

The left wanted Huck Finn banned because of 'N' word. The difference here is the right doesn't want bans. It wants adult stuff kept from children. The left wants stuff kept from adults.

Every other word in that article is either “extremist” or “far-right”. Typical Groomer projection and gaslighting.

Time for the conservatives to put their foot down and make these liberals terrified to leave the house.

If a green haired woke mom wants she/her eight year old to read about anal and touching, she can buy the award winning book off amazon.

Then Mejia discovered something that troubled her: The Lafayette Board of Control, which governs the public library system in Lafayette, had been stacked with “extremely far right activist members” who were laser-focused on dismantling library services for the broader community. The board refused funding for a program about the history of voting rights, attempted to ban books featuring LGBTQ+ content, pushed hard against a Pride display, and attempted to fire a beloved children’s librarian.


Lafayette is based.
