Should not surprise anyone – find a copy of George Counts’ 1932 pamphlet “Dare the School Build a New Social Order?

I heard there was this one book in some of these school libraries that talked about dudes hung like farm animals having huge loads. What kind of pervert would advocate for that book being in schools? We should probably get that one outta there.

I don’t think “I am a libertarian” means what you think it means…

1. I call bullish!t.

2. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you thorough both the phrase “generous government paychecks” when talking about teachers or school staff. Do you ever reflect on what you write, or is it all just reflex designed for MAGA and Moms for Liberty morons?

Right!? It sounds more like a ticked off parent complaining about anything and everything they can just to get attention. Teachers are definitely not paid enough. Admin… I think they are paid just fine. It’s the teachers I’m mostly worried about. And let’s not forget certified librarians who actually care about student education!!

I live in this community. I have been to the school board meetings. I have been in the email communications. This is all true.

Have you really? Did you work in the schools? Did you work with the students? Or are you just a parent? I’m not for porn being in a school, but this just sounds like malarkey to me.
“Generous checks” are not so generous when divided up between schools in ASD1/Admin/Custodians/Teachers/Assistants/Child Advocates/Etc. I would encourage you to actually look at the facts. It’s all on ASD1 School website too. Look it up, break it down yourself since you seem to have all the time in the world to attend all the board meetings.

What a terribly written piece of propaganda. You should at least label this as OPINION or COMMENTARY.

I hope you know and you’re comfortable with the fact that the person feeding you this false information does not care about books or kids but is looking to take over the ASD1 and other school boards just like they did in other states. That’s what Mom’s for Liberty is trying to accomplish. They want too push their radical agenda. I hope the parents realize this….

Why for the life of me does anyone think these lgbtq propaganda and porn books should be in school libraries. What the hell happened to giving a basic education of reading, writing and arithmetic. We all know they are not getting that now. If you think these books belong in the reach of kids, especially up to middle school then YOU are the problem.

I find it interesting the two books aren’t named. Is it because people may disagree on how they are characterized?

To those who have chosen to focus on the manner in which the report was written, or on certain phrases that were used, please keep in mind that IF the books in question were indeed found in a high school library, that alone should bring us all together. UNLESS one supports having pornography available in high school libraries for the enjoyment of “adults”. At the very least say whether you would support having books of this type in the library or do not support it. Address the issue, please.

If it was truly porn, the police would be involved. I call BS on your labeling.

Do the adults in the school building have access to a public library? Why would a school library carry any books for employees? Our students don’t have the resources they need to learn the basic subjects but we got tax dollars to provide school employees a “shelf”? Make it make sense, please!

Fahrenheit 451? Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy and see what happens when we start burning books. Or better yet. Research what happened when HITLER did it….
