Amid book bans across the South, LGBTQ+ advocates and groups are pushing back to ensure youth have access to banned books: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/how-lgbtq-advocates-and-groups-are-combating-book-bans/
To find someone local who thinks there should be *more* unfounded book challenges, they had to resort to our county’s #1 book banner (she challenged “The Nowhere Girls”, which I’m flipping through, unaware who was on deck). So she still agrees with herself, I guess.

Earlier tonight I posted a video to TikTok, lamenting the insanity that is Moms For Liberty and in particular their book ban crusade, not least the forced coverup of cartoons in children’s books. TikTok pulled the video for, I swear, 'Sexually Suggesive Content'

What is irony, anyway?
Ugh. Conroe.
The twisted, stunted attitudes about "protecting children" make them prey to people pushing these agendas.
On November 14, a 20-year-old woman named Lanah Burkhardt appeared before the school board of the Conroe Independent School District in Texas. Burkhardt told the board that, when she was 11, she read a Scholastic book that introduced her to "a single kiss." According to Burkhardt, her exposure to this Scholastic book was directly responsible for her developing a debilitating addiction to pornography.
When will this nonsense and ridiculousness and nonsense end?
