What a tool:
Remember this the next time your local government school is demanding more tax money from you.
That money is going to the Democrat Party and Woke NGOs.
A lot of it is going to administrators and politically well-connected contractors who get rich off of it. Either way, say No.
RE: "banning books". I think of it more as selecting age appropriate material for schools.Catcher in the Rye
Excellent modern/post-modern/youth literature. I read it in high school in what was a very conservative Texas town.
Heroic author (JD Salinger fought in the first wave at D-Day--unlike anything these jackwagons who keep trying to ban books ever did).
By far and away the most banned book in US history.
Has stuff like:
Perverts in the NYC train/subway station bathrooms engaging in illegal acts.
More perverts and exhibitionists in the hotel.
A male teacher who makes a homosexual pass at his under-aged former student (the protagonist) who is spending the night at his apartment.
Lots of anti-establishment themes. A nice contrast is built up of the innocence and honesty of his younger sister Phoebe and the twisted, corrupt, and completely phony world of the adults.
Still a fantastic book. Holden Caulfield has a perspective that should be heard and that still rings fresh for the youth of today, around 70 years later. In a way, Holden Caulfield was James Dean in print right before James Dean made it big on the screen. It should not be banned from Texas school library shelves.
A Democracy vs. a Republic. We're a Constitutional Republic.RE: "banning books". I think of it more as selecting age appropriate material for schools.
Almost all of us would say that there is some material that is inappropriate for schools. Almost none of us would advocate Hustler being in a school. So it is not a matter of whether or not to "ban" any material, it is all about where (and who gets) to draw the line.
Limiting the material that is available on the shelf on a public school is not nearly the same as banning a book from print in the general public. There is value in having diversity of opinion in literature in a school but what goes too far, and who gets to make that call? I would suggest that a population voting on representatives and those representatives then enacting rules is as close as we get to representing the will of the majority about where that line gets drawn.
Ha! I just looked it up. Salinger was close friends with legendary jurist Learned Hand. Now that's a lot of literary and legal genius at a coffee table.Catcher in the Rye

BOSD. what a concept.
There's a huge difference anyone should be able to discern.And though I like Catcher in the Rye, if I have to accept gay porn in schools to keep it, I'll dump it.

Literary value vs. nothing but prurient interest.
Art books with Renoir (or many Michelangelo) works are of high artistic value and they show plenty of naked women, while porn magazines are lacking in artistic value and only appeal to the prurient interest. The art books belong on the school library shelves. This is like those nitwits who made them put metal fig leaves over the groins of naked sculptures in public places--ridiculous. Absurb. Preposterous. Ludicrous. Farcical. Inane. Risible. Laughable. Nonsensical. Aggieistic.
