Imagine imprisoning the people who are responsible for bringing new, functional adults to our society for the inane crime of teaching.
The scary part about it is, they probably don’t believe that is what they’re doing at all. I’d wager almost all of the people getting behind this are people who believe that the responsibility of bringing new, functional adults to society is the sole purview of the church.
Who better to arrest? The Republicans want to infect the minds of the kids and purging/silencing the teachers who don’t comply makes sense.
They are trying to “bring God back into schools”. Ted Cruz’s dad is involved with a PAC that’s trying to via school boards.
Well, when education is kind of a problem for your plans of building a third world country…
I wouldn’t necessarily say third world, as that would imply the rich would be losing money as well, but I understand what you mean.
Although that being said, the richest people on the planet tend to be complete fucking imbeciles themselves (Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, etc.)
Third world countries can have rich people, too. Usually the government officials.
Third world countries have some ridiculously rich people.

We should demand a refund of $15 million from Spain and give them Florida back in return. Honestly, it would be worth $15 billion.
Lots of tourists from here in the UK would be very upset at Disneyland sinking :(

Good news then. Disney Land is in California.
Disneyland Paris is way closer to the UK
But then you have to interact with the French 😭
From every experience I ha e had with the French, it has always been very pleasant. Rudest people I have met are the Chinese, British and American tourists.

I really don’t like the “haha France 🤢” memeage.
It just seems like holdover from the Iraq invasion when they were, you know, right.
It’s definitely older than that. I remember French jokes going back decades before. They’ve always been a punching bag in America’s eyes. “The French are smelly.” “The French are snobby.” “The French are cowards.” If I had to guess, it probably goes back to WWII and their occupation by the Nazis.

If Disney world sank it would just be Bioshock.
I’m just loving the AI’s attempts at written language. It’s getting better but it’s still not close.

And it’s so lazy. You could get .pngs of all of that stuff and just stack them up in PS and throw on a sepia filter and it would look better after 5 minutes of work. AIs like this have just made people lazy. I’ve seen people talk about using Chat GPT to do Algebra 1 math. Literally any basic search engine will be just as effective and you might actually learn something but people are so determined to make AI something they can rely on. /rant
I completely agree. My employer has been encouraging the use of chat GPT as a starting point for client deliverables. Since it literally makes things up, you still have to spend time verifying everything, which takes as long or longer than just doing everything yourself, plus you’ll have familiarity for that topic in the future.

Oh no…
Was not expecting that 2nd paragraph.
deleted by creator
There are no paragraphs…
It’s a screenshot with a headline, subheading, a picture, and a picture description…
Or did you find the article OP should have linked instead of this stupid screenshot?
There is being pedantic, and then there is being a bloody cunt.
Guess which camp you belong to…
deleted by creator
Geez, imagine what you would have thought of me if I immediately jumped to personal insults…
The same as I do now probably.
I don’t give people credit for being rude just because they avoid foul language.Let me rephrase my previous point: you were being a bloody cunt. Maybe you’re a great lad normally, but both your replies to the other guy were cunty.
Try to be nicer to people. This is probably not the first time in your life a stranger has reacted to your behaviour.
Do better.I don’t give people credit for being rude
mate, I asked if they found the article OP should have linked instead of just a screenshot they saw on Reddit…
Because that’s the only way they could have seen a sentence let alone a paragraph.
If you think that’s rude enough to warrant personal insults, by all means just block me. I’m not getting into an internet slapfight over this, find someone else if that’s what you’re after
No I just wanted you to know I think you were being a cunt.
Nothing more.
Have a great weekend!
I like your jib. If you ever see me being a right cunt, call me out. And I hope you have people around to call you a cunt when needed too. We need more of you, truly.
deleted by creator
Man there’s not much that annoys me more than someone being an asshole, and then being upset when people are assholes back to them.
… you are absolutely right. How dumb of me to call the picture description a paragraph.
You odious BUFFOON
I mean, I was trying to be nicer than that…
But yeah.
While we’re at it, if you’re American and didn’t know this was a thing…
At least you learned it today, because this is what Republicans talk about when they want to “return to the good ole days”. They want to make disagreeing with them illegal, even if it’s science that disagrees with them.
I love how you’ve been typing the same exact way this entire time.
It most probably refers to the text starting with “John” and ending with “(1925)”.
could you imagine having so much time on your hands that you debase the entire intellectual potential of your tribe, town, city, what have you, just by being a self righteous prick about pieces of paper with words printed on them?
i was just in another thread. and for some reason. people take HUGE offense to being knowledgeable. like if you try to climb out of the ignorant bucket but you almost can’t because the other crabs pull us back down.
you could rape a mans wife, flay his children before his eyes and he wouldn’t lift a finger to object, but say you have a book? and this book teaches you stuff? oh, that’s greater than any sin imaginable (the best part is i didn’t mention what book, but id love to hear everyone’s ‘self righteous’ projections about which one)
I heard this guy talking about the right’s reaction to the pandemic say “This whole new idea of what’s liberty, and liberty for whom can kill. Especially when it replaces the idea of liberty as that which has to be shared in some kind of common good.”
It’s obvious though that it’s not actually a new idea, but I think this cuts to the heart of it. It’s an inherently selfish mindset that is so prevalent on the right. They use the idea of “liberty” as a bludgeon to get what they want by redefining it. Freedom has stopped meaning a group concept and become purely a personal one. Their own wants are the most important thing in all cases. And I want to emphasize want. These aren’t beliefs. They are projecting their desires of the way they would prefer the world and calling them beliefs.
It’s fairly universal, I think, but exemplified in American culture. I could go one about some of the “founding” ideas of the country that have had effects that last to today but I’m talking about freedom today. It was always a selfish idea here (bunch of business men didn’t want to pay taxes) and the end result is before us.
People see a book that makes them uncomfortable - for whatever reason - and just want it removed, regardless of any wider ramifications. They get scared about their own impending doom when a pandemic hits so they seek to remove the fear by the most direct path. Actually solving it is hard, but removing the fear is quick, so they demand that everyone just stop being afraid and stop reminding them of the things they fear. It seems to be a pretty standard through-line for their ethos.
Drrrrrraaamaaaaaaa.
Some dumb motherfuckers read Fahrenheit 451 and thought “Hey, that sounds like a good idea. Why aren’t we doing that?”
Ok, so we’ve just never followed where the first amendment says there will be no national religion
No, we’re too busy furiously masturbating to the second amendment. After all, that’s the only one that counts!
No you see it wasn’t religious because it didn’t require teaching anything else, just not teaching evolution. Also since some church folk support evolution and other church folk don’t it can’t be religious for that either.
Seriously though, for anyone unfamiliar with Christian dogma, according to them humans were divinely made in God’s image. The state supreme court wasn’t even trying to be impartial.
I guess someone needs to open up a Readeasy…
Thats called piracy
I like this idea.
Never change, Florida.
Everything stays, right where you left it.
I expect school fire drills are gonna be a bit different now…
Scheduled for 4:51 pm?
The more things change.
The comment section confuses me. Is this picture just a reminder how things were in 1925? Or is teaching evolution now banned in Florida?
This is an event from the past which is being echoed in the present.
It’s strange, I know… sometimes people look at the past to better assess how to handle the present or to better know what to expect from the future.
Alright, thanks for the answer. I found the snarky addition pretty unecessary. What’s up with people here? So much hostility around.
I tried to understand the image and asked for help. Got it, thanked. Where’s the need for downvotes or sarcasm in that?
Maybe that is living “A Boring Dystopia”, but I think we can and should do better.
I mean at first glance I see a title for an article, a short description of the scope of the article and a picture from a past article that echoes the same concept.
This article (I haven’t seen it linked) is likely about books being banned.
What’s with the snarky replies? Well, you seem to be asking in bad faith and are being treated as such. I’m sorry if that’s in error. If you’re genuinely asking these questions it’s a safe assumption having it explained clearly might help you. If you can sense the “snark” you can certainly parse the topic of this article from the screenshot.
you seem to be asking in bad faith and are being treated as such. I’m sorry if that’s in error.
Yes, it was a genuine question. I hope this community isn’t always that way.
Don’t worry, I understood you had a question and wasn’t sure why you were downvoted. Seriously just don’t worry about the downvotes, it’s 2023 there’s going to be snark on the internet
I think it’s because you were mistaken for a concern troll, “just asking questions” but intended to not people down.
From your first response, it wasn’t possible to tell if you genuinely wanted more information, or were gearing up for some bad faith arguments.
I hate to put so much thought and disclaimers into simple questions but I understand where this is coming from. It’s alright.
Teachers were giving kids actual pornography. Sorry, as a parent, I have a right to demand my children not be taught how to give gay blowjobs with graphic illustrations. You went too far, and now you have to stop. Cry all you want. Most people are not okay with your degeneracy.
Edit: one of the “children’s” books is called “Gender Queer,” and includes graphic illustrations of sex.
Yeah, I’d like to see a source on that one. I find it hard to believe that all teachers were giving children child pornography and that’s what instigated this law.
Doesn’t even pass the sniff test if you think about it for a few minutes.
republicans have the right to be furious about things that aren’t happening, it’s in the Constitution
about things that aren’t happening,
They have their own facts. I get your joke, but boy It’s so depressing how crazy Republicans have become.
But but the litter boxes in schools all across the country?! We have to be furious! Right guys? These things are real and not just a complete fabrication, right?! Oh…
Teachers were giving kids actual child pornography.
You mean the bible?
Not for nothing but gay blow jobs are practically the same as straight ones and I don’t need a book to teach me that. Also heavy doubt that that is the case
No, no. Straight blowjobs don’t exist. It’s eyes closed missionary position, or else straight to hell.
Unless you’re Boebert
Between a Man and Wife who are only suffering the degeneracy to procreate.
I avoid hell by doing it in the ear.
Prove your claim. What book? Where? Or are you just making this up or maybe repeating some bullshit some other moron said?
What an idiot gay blowjobs are the same as hetero blowjobs… also no source what so ever. I feel sorry for your children growing up with a cunt of a parent.
Former child of a cunt here. Estrangement is in their future.
if we’re randomly accusing people of being pedophiles without proof, I’d start with the guy bringing up CSAM unprovoked ya know
Prove it.
Yup, you got us! We definitely spend all day trying to get your kid to give gay blowjobs.
I can’t even get these kids to wear deodorant without a parent complaining. You think we’re wasting our time teaching kids how to give a blowjob? Lmfao “You went too far.” Doing what? Did this even happen? Are you super duper sure? Did you check with the people you let think for you?
Cry all you want, most people are not okay with your degeneracy.
None of the books being banned are pornographic. Don’t fucking lie to advance your cause of genocide
Bible shows incest, death, and slavery but that’s ok to have in schools. 🙃
Does every banned book teach kids how to give “gay blowjobs?” Lie all you want. Most people are not okay with your bullshit.
Source?
I’d imagine gay blowjobs are the same process as hetero blowjobs.
Hey! No imagination allowed! Cut that out.
Maybe next time try thinking a little more than not at all. What’s the name of the book? Oh you can’t tell me cuz there isnt one. You gobble up this political rhetoric without a second thought cuz thinking is hard.
I respect that you’ve provided something to back your claim up, but have you actually seen the uncensored version yet?
It’s not what you’re claiming - it’s about how someone born female has been fantasising what it would be like to have male genitals. The ‘gay blowjob’ is the character finally trying on a strap on - which is pretty obvious in both the text and uncensored image, and then deciding pretty immediately that the fantasy was much better than the reality.
There is a reason that websites are censoring it when they show it, and it isn’t because they’re protecting you. It’s because a half truth is much more powerful than a all-out lie, and by censoring parts out, it allows the readers to fill in the blanks with something much worse. They’re deliberately trying to deceive you, to rile you up, and keep you coming back to them.
Please provide a source.
If there is a source, and I’d be shocked if there was, it’s a one off thing that should be dealt with as such. There was absolutely not plural “teachers” defiling our youth with porn in school. This whole thing is fear mongering to create an out group for conservatives to rally against
Yeah, I understand that. It’s the same with the whole kidnapping bs that’s being spouted across social media right now.
Lol, someone came through and down voted instead of actually providing a source.
What is this kidnapping story?
It’s not a story but a bunch of women who claim that someone tried to kidnap them in broad daylight in a busy parking lot. Or tried to grab their kids. It’s always “someone” and never an actual description of a person. All the details are extremely vague. “Oh there was a van following me to my car!” “This guy was following me and he was wearing glasses so I couldn’t see his face!” It’s always these middle class white women too, which human traffickers don’t go after. They’ll take pictures of random vehicles and come up with fake ass stories about how the vehicle was following them, acting weird, blah blah. Oh and they never call the police. They just write long ass posts on social media about what almost happened to them.
Here’s an article on the topic. Idk who the author is, but the article is pretty accurate about what’s going on.
Sure if they did I’d agree, but this never ever happened so why do you claim it did?
I heard they’re all witches!!!11111eleven
Oh, so straight blow jobs would be ok?
You are lying
Who did this? Bullshit.
That seems your source sound entirely made up to get a certain delight riled up. I’d you are a victim of this misinformation please do some deeper research. If you’re just a pusher of disinformation I’m really disappointed.
