I wonder if they included the bible, koran and torah since they cite sexual content and much worse.

I see this commented a lot, and I don't get what the idea is. Are the expected outcomes:
- They will get Gotcha'd so hard they see the error of their ways?
- They will get the Bible removed from schools and lead a consistent crusade against anything sexual?
- They will just keep the Bible and ignore the hypocrisy?
Never underestimate the capacity for Republicans to remain willfully hypocritical. It's literally the foundation of today's Supreme Court.
Malicious compliance is a form of protest.
It’s not an argument made to convince the opponent, rather it’s a comment to highlight the oppositions glaring hypocrisy and bigotry.
Right. They don't care.
“Flamer” is a graphic novel about a boy who is discovering he is gay and how he is treated at summer camp. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” contains some discussion of sex and a lot of profanity, but is mainly about two high school boys who befriend a girl dying of cancer.
From the article.
I’ve read flamer and it’s kind of telling how people want it banned. It makes me wonder if people who are deeply opposed to it feel called out by it’s core messaging
If the message is understanding for gay children it stands against their whole fascist agenda.
These people want to white wash the gay away. What is the end goal. To make people forget that being gay is a thing. Ugh like 10-15 more years and most of the bigots will be too old to remember why mad.
Then go in and remove all Bibles, see how they like that.
But, yeah, they don't know what's in their bible as 99.99% of these fucks never read a book, let alone actually read the book they are ready to kill people over.
Fascism has arrived waving a flag and a bible. As the legends foretold.

I mean, I'm surprised any teachers are left when the government is run by incompetent fucktards
I'm from that county and spent most of my childhood in that district. Not really surprising, tbh. Had a biology teacher in high school that was a staunch creationist and refused to teach anything other than what aligned with his beliefs. Failed that class pretty hard. Which started a snowball effect which lead to me quitting high school. The only class that I had that I felt comfortable in was art and that's because the curriculum wasn't laced with religious doctrine.
Be sure to use a photograph of early readers when discussing banning books aimed at young adults.
At least it wasn’t a photo of “Gender Queer” for the umpteenth time — which is a book aimed at college age readers.
Now do the Bible.
