    You’re so fucking stupid. Maybe you should read any of those books you claim are being pulled as “pornography.”

        It really says something about your worldview that you automatically assume any librarian is a groomer

              By providing an underaged child access/directions to adult - pornographic material, for one. That in of itself should be considered disseminating indecent material to minors.

              Actually that’s a good project to conduct… baiting librarians to see if they’re willing to guide children to material that is deemed indecent.

                I ask you to look up what books are in this books unbanned project and point to the pornography. Or do you truly believe books about mental health, LGBTQ and diversity awareness are pornography?

                I want to assume you’re a good person so I’m going to let you know: limiting a teenager’s access to books that discuss sex in a healthy way isn’t corrupting them. Educators that want them to have access to this aren’t groomers.

                Sex/sexuality are part of human nature, and every teen is developing a sense of self that will include these aspects. If they don’t have curated materials to learn from, they’ll seek these out themselves–through the internet. Porn is an awful and unhealthy way to learn about this stuff.

                Outrage media will try to tell you that first grade teachers are giving instructions for sex acts, and that’s just demonstrably untrue.

                  So why can’t educators stick to the state mandated sex ed programs? Why veer off the curriculum standardized by the state?

                    Because the places that ban these kind of books also don’t have sex ed programs. I’d wager this Oklahoma district goes by an abstinence program.

        Being able to read opens access to the written pornographic material. Being able to write enables accidentally writing pornographic sentences. Please unlearn reading and writing as the first thing you do tomorrow.

            If you think that having an option to learn about life and know something about it before being exposed to the dangers going blind into an experience is bad and grooming, I have news for you. You have been groomed into being a breeder-only type of human being with all these anti sex-education (even optional for only those who seek it) showing it.

            Go breed like rabbits and shut up about people learning how to safely engage in sex and how to turn it into an enjoyable experience rather than a sneaky risky fleeting act that can put on them lifelong unwanted responsibilities.

                Can you define the word “civility” for me? Or are you just going to call me a groomer too because I don’t agree with you either?

                How is letting someone know about the facets of a topic is preparing them to use abused in that topic? Especially without an agent meddling in between. What, will the books themselves have sex?

                I’m aware that enough knowledge about sex and reproduction alone does not warrant a valid consent for sex just by itself and there are many more matters that should be taken into account, including enough experience in regular life matters to understand the scope of agreement for it, which a child or teen would not have, but at least enabling access to the material by which they can learn about it on their own volition is a good start to construct personal identity.

                Ask the fucking priests that touched you in places and called it something bullshit like putting god in you if they support anyone learning and constructing their own sexual identity through intermediary-free inanimate objects is safe and sound, you’ll get probably get more touching as they teach you what they think.

            Do you truly think everyone constantly telling you you’re wrong and disagreeing with you vehemently makes you more correct?

              No… I’m well aware that this community is a leftist/progressive community and your form of progress is a degenerate, decaying form of progress. And when I see something absurd, I call it out or at the very least question it. You’re right, I’m wrong, because I go against the grain. And you feel like you’re right because of your collectivism. Doesn’t make it right nor moral.

                  I think there’s people whose moral compass doesn’t align with the common man on earth. And said people just see themselves as progressives for the better good without actually thinking about the repercussions. You may feel you’re doing something right, but in reality it’s negatively impactful.
