Such a brave personal story, but she’s also a moron blaming it on books.

Just another “the witch made me do it” story.

I wonder if Lanah Burkhardt and Isabel Hogben know each other. This is just more proof that "pornography addiction" is a culture-specific illness endemic to adherents of Abrahamic religions.

Such a shame, if she hasn’t seen that one very specific book, she would never again have possibly been exposed to “a single kiss” and would have therefore lived a perfectly puritanical life devoid of any sexual gratification, exactly as Jesus demands we impose on all children everywhere.

Burkhardt’s appearance was promoted by SkyTree Book Fairs, a newly formed organization marketing itself as “an alternative to the sexually explicit content distributed in Scholastic’s book fairs.”

She works for the competition; can you imagine being such a piece of shit?. To stand on that podium with other adults watching you, and she still poured forth her drivel?

What an absolutely cartoon story. Teenage hormonal urges should not be made to feel shame. i don’t understand that in humans, we are hard wired to be a certain way and groups like these are like “nah we can force everyone into our rhombus of bullshit”

She works for the right wing version of scholastic. She was also home schooled, so when would she have even gotten a book from scholastic? The whole story is bullshit.

Oh, she’s a lying liar, but I was homeschooled and I had Scholastic through a stupid homeschool mommy group. It was honestly the best part of being homeschooled, getting the catalog and my mom decided how many books we could afford to buy that time around and how many books we could each pick out and then going through the catalog and deciding which ones I wanted. I was isolated, abused, getting a shitty education, and had no friends, but the one thing I could do was read well above my age level, so I read like there was no tomorrow. I was reading novels by the time I was 6 and in elementary and middle school I was reading over 300 full length novels a year, because I had nothing else to do with my life. I read everything and anything I could get my hands on.

religion traumatized her, not a graphic novel. religion sexually abuses children by instilling sexual shame as a means of control

There's porn at book fairs now? Man these kids really do have it better.

Imagine getting to blame everyone else for your shortcomings.

Or having to deal with the imaginary shortcomings of other people that you don't have. Such as, being able to read the Fahrenheit 451, without getting a boner.

Same. Magic School Bus turned me into an absolute heathen.
