SC is dead set on being the least educated, lowest paying, unhealthiest State in the Country.

Oh yeah, they have already been there for decades.

Fargo (ND) Public Schools is vying among many for that most coveted position of “Most Woke Public School System” award, even OPENLY DEFYING STATE LAW to do so, thanks to Dr. Rupak Gandhi, Superintendent of FPS.

I don’t let my kids read the bible or listen to your leader who loves to “grab them by the pussy” and rape women.

To someone who went to Bob Jones University, anything that was written after the Dark Ages is considered “woke.”

Around 2019-2020, GLSEN Rainbow Library sent sets of books directly to SC school libraries with titles for LGTBQ youth. SCASL encouraged librarians to make them available, so many did – without vetting them professionally. Because of its graphic depiction of sex acts, Gender Queer generated closer public examination of what was on school library shelves. A review of GQ in School Library Journal mentions sex toys, which should have been enough to prevent it from being placed on the shelves. Yet, suggesting that GQ does not belong in schools labels you as a bigoted Nazi. I hope Weaver can now lead schools back to concentrating on basic literacy.

After reading that, I’m assuming “basic literacy” wasn’t taught to you either?

I wonder what it is like for the modern republicans that survive on nothing more than a diet of equal parts hate and fear?

The issue is a moral one which radical libs have morphed into a political one. Parents who oppose having pornographic books in schools are saying no to an attempt to normalize this, and they are justified.
The Communist agenda has taken over our school system and it must be stopped without apology. Saul Alinski, Rule 8: “ ‘Keep the pressure on. Never let up.’ Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance.” Exactly that, from sex ed in schools, then the gay agenda, then pornography in schools and now drag and gender ID, promoted by the SCASL.
Gotta’ end it. Thanks to Ellen Weaver for taking this stand.

The Nazi Agenda, hate Jews, hate minorities, blame poor people, blame liberals, blame the press, label everyone you disagree with a communist, ban books that don’t say what you want, follow a cult leader, and believe him no matter what the facts show. Yep sounds like MAGA to me.

You have no right to tell other children what they can and can’t read. This would be true even if you weren’t so obviously stupid.

Since some of you never earned your GED after dropping out of school in elementary school, let me give you a quick primer on history. The side that wants to ban books are never, ever the “good” guys. Most of the claims made about the titles that the “Moms for Liberty” and their astro-turfed political sibling groups are dubious at best. It is clear that they’ve never actually read the books they want to ban, given their description of them. Or read, in general, but I’ll leave that tirade for another day. The GOP indoctrinates its followers by fear and anger. Outrage and limited info is used to keep the faithful in line because you’re basically in a freaking cult.

LOL

Boomer parents and older generations are convinced school libraries are indoctrinating students and turning them gay. That scares them to death.. What a bunch of clown buffoons.

These are the same people whose parents and grandparents were scared to death of the swiveling hips of Elvis and long hair of The Beatles.

News flash: more and more people are going to be gay, trans, etc including young people and nothing you do is going to stop it. In fact, your actions are making sure more and more are going to come out and stand up for themselves.
