Florida teachers forced to remove books from their classrooms—or face felony charges

Can't help but be impressed by Mr DeSantis's love of children and desire to protect them in spite of the hammering the fake news media(don't say gay bill lie and falsely claiming protecting kids is against the LGBT movement - totally bizarre false claims) give him. Certainly getting my vote. I trust his judgement over what books are allowed in kids schools, certainly no place for "teachers" grooming the kids or putting strange sexual ideas in their developing minds. I wonder even if the posters that want 3rd grade kids sexualized by their teachers even have young children of their own? 

 

"DeSantis expanded that proposal, saying child sexual abuse — specifically rape — should also be punishable by death, with a minimum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. “These people don’t care. They are unrepentant,” DeSantis said. “... I believe the only appropriate punishment that would be commensurate to that would be capital.”

Amen Sir, keep on protecting the vulnerable kids.

So many young lives destroyed by reading "Heather Has Two Mommies".

And then when these students get to me (well, before I retired) in college, I will be condemned for providing a damned "liberal" higher education because I would be teaching ideas that Florida students never previously encountered in their censored education.

Or so you have been told.

Once again we see the rightwing engaging in their habit of making accusations against Liberals that are actually confessions.

 

’Cancel Culture’ they shout.

I think it's quite reasonable to not to expose children to sex in school.

Obviously the woke teachers were still pushing their deviant views on sexuality through books, so steps had to be taken. Dismiss the teachers is the only real way forward out of this mess.

 

The four intellectual pillars of wokeism are:

1. Anti-white racism disguised under the euphemism social justice.

2. Rejection of traditional morality, which is primarily carried out by the promotion of sexually deviant lifestyles such as homosexuality and transgender. In a truly surreal inversion of reality, they paint traditional morality as immoral by charging it with being homophobic, transphobic, and similar terms.

3. Environmentalism based on the notion that it is desirable and possible to arrest climate change.

4. Intense hostility toward Christian religion, which they negatively paint as patriarchal, intolerant, and oppressive.

 

This woke nonsense needs to be stopped.

The usual deceptive headline ... books aren't banned, just the one's that haven't been approved yet.

 

We had sex education in school also, but not until we were old enough to actually understand and think for ourselves.   

 

Parents teach social skills.

Teachers teach math, reading/writing, science, geography, history, trades.

All you need to do to stop this ‘woke nonsense’ is stop imagining it.

 

1. Social Justice is not Anti-white racism.

 

2. Traditional morality is a myth, it’s why proponents of morality are so often caught breaking the moral codes they wish to impose on others.
 

Homosexuality and transgenders are natural occurrences and have always existed, something that ought not need emplaning to anyone living in Thailand. 

 

3, Environmentalism is science based.

 

4. There is no intense hostility towards Christianity, you made that up.

Get over the self stroking grievance politics already

Which is totally different to promoting deviant lifestyles to impressionable children.

Homosexuality is not a deviant lifestyle.

 

Obsessing over other people’s sexuality might be.

Don't care about anyone's lifestyle.

But if you like bondage and whipping, no need to tell children about it.

By denying students access to books that haven't been reviewed by the government.  That is the overwhelming majority of books.

They're only talking about "classroom libraries", not the school library.

 

It's simply a method of keeping ideological indoctrination out of the classroom. Sad that it is needed, but it appears to be for the students' protection.

It depends on the basis of selection.

 

 

And if they only exclude one-sided radical books that focus on identity politics and ideology, which would likely be forced on the students by the teacher? Will that make lids dumb?

Like the Bible, that should be banned outright, or be listed under pure fiction. 

I think it has some merit, as a body of work that meshes with Western culture and morals/values, but yes, teachers shouldn't be preaching to kids that they need to believe in or follow any religion.

If you read the headline fast enough, you would have thought this news from Afghanistan.

And the reason this protection is needed is that some teachers are not only supplying it, but pushing on the students.

 

This has nothing to do with "making people dumb".

 

Children may turn out to be gay, and possibly even trans, and that's fine, but it's something they need to deal with individually, rather than trying to change every student.

Please provide credible links proving those claims.

Teaching is NOT "trying to change every student", and the more they know the better they can deal with it, and life.

Ok, do you really not understand that only allowing a government approved list of books results in the overwhelming majority of books being banned?

The only deviant news stories I recall involving teachers has been heterosexual adults having sex with underage students.

Read the first paragraph of the link in the OP:

 

"Some Manatee County teachers have covered their classroom libraries with construction paper or otherwise eliminated students' access to make sure they comply with new Florida law requiring all library books to be approved by a certified media specialist."

 

I'm still waiting for examples of the ideological indoctrination used to justify this extreme censorship,

Why is discussing sexual activities with opposite sex workmates called sexual harassment and a firing(or worse) offense, yet with grade 3 children it is all fine and good? Sorry I don't buy it. This saga is made a million times worse by the left swearing the sexualization of young children at school is a "right wing conspiracy theory" yet are going ballistic when HERO Ron DeSantis bans it?!?! 

I used the word love not sex. You are misquoting me as usual.

Nobody mentioned bondage and whipping. The comment was about sexuality. The far right seem to think that teaching kids that homosexuality isn't a sin is a sin.
