BuckSwope 654 Posted January 23, 2024 26 minutes ago, MDC said: My understanding based on the wiki page and Common Sense Media (parents guide) is that All Boys Aren’t Blue describes some adult content but doesn’t include any pictures of it. You can correct me if that’s wrong though since you know so much more about it. Assuming that is the case, calling it “porn” is ridiculous. If the argument is that graphic written depictions of sex don’t belong in libraries I’ve got to wonder why this book from 2020 is the target but something like The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski escaped notice for 50+ years? Time for a global book audit? Sweet Jeebus, not even the book I was talking about. I even named Gender Queer by title, and Horseman provided links to pics that are in that book above. Sure, I've also advocated that there needs to be a sit down with rational adults to knock out this book debate. That's not going to happen, so both sides look a bit crazy. . 100% if we are saying sexually explicit shouldn't be allowed, then apply that across the board. I understand what you are driving about with the usual accusations that the right are only caring now because it's lgbtq depictions of sex. I often wonder that, especially when I see religious groups behind the push for these book removals. IMO that changes nothing and my opinion still stands and that's what debate and discussion are for. The left loses the conversation instantly by not agreeing that something like Gender Queer shouldn't be in a school library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The very first example was a memoir. We already went over this already, like 2 posts back. If you want to talk about Gender Queer, maybe it should be age restricted in schools, I dunno. I do know that no serious person calls that “porn.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Maddow have her host her show if she thought Joy Reid didn't like gay people? And on Reid's own show she has had several openly gay folks sub for her as host when she is out, such as Jonathan Capehart. Wow. This is an embarrassing take.

I do know that no serious person calls that “porn.” As I posted in another thread a month or two back (can't find it in a search) the author of Gender Queer said it should be age restricted to High School kids and is not for ages below that. Also she pointed out that the book has not been made part of any school curriculum outside of being available to HS to read if they wish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,639 Posted January 23, 2024 5 hours ago, BeachGuy23 said: Why would I do that? Look at exit polls friend. College educated people vote dem at an almost 75% clip. Not saying that everyone has to be college educated but we all know that folks who are college educated are the ones who move the country forward. For example, we're communicating right now thanks to folks with education doing science stuff. Republicans would still be tapping on wires if the country was filled with nothing but conservatives. Do some research friend. Do everyone a quick favor…don’t use receiving a college degree and being intelligent as interchangeable situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most would agree that having a college degree is more highly correlated with a higher IQ than those without. And again, we're not communicating like we are because folks choose to get educated and become scientist, entrepreneurs, etc. Same with life saving medical and drug treatments. Not something done by those who choose not to get educated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're arguing the latter with your proof being the former. As a matter of example, it's "we are communicating like we are because folks chose" and the earlier trouble using the formatting.

These degrees have nothing to do with intelligence. Today anyone can graduate from college and get a masters. PhD’s aren’t that hard come by either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My question didn't have anything to do with either point in this post. I simply asked either of YOU bozos, knowing what is in it, why YOU think it should be in a HS library. It's probably the most cited book in the debate, so it would be odd to not know what is in it on your end. But it's either that, or you know what's in it and evidently find it not that bad or it has some value to override the graphic content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
