Another one sided paid endorsement for school vouchers in the form of attacking the public school system. Moms for Liberty is just a front. Cromer and the other Carly weirdo are faker than the color of their hair. Does being called a news site prevent you from being sued? Will find out soon.
Nothing to see here folks, just another Clown article from a Clown author.
You know what would help kids learn? If learning was just a by-product of a few really well connected rich dudes bilking parents for millions upon millions.
This is a story about two groups of people that I find irritating. And here’s FITS with a logical take, but also a mega flair for being overly dramatic.
The outright fallacies are astounding. There is no “pornography” in our libraries. “Porn” has a very specific connotation (re: Miller Test). This is outrageous pandering once again by Mr. Folks.
Whether intended as pornography or not, books like the adult graphic memoir Gender Queer with depictions of sexual experiences have no place in a school library. SC librarians who “subversively” supported LGBTQ+ groups urged others across the state to add books donated by GLSEN Rainbow Books to their shelves. Some did, without reviewing them.
Very one sided arguments. It’s easy to see that you are on the side of April Cromer and Carly Carter.
I find it Very Interesting that you linked to the person Facebook and Twitter Pages of the people that you disagree with and linked to the political pages of the representatives you support and linked to articles and not the persona pages of the person you support.
You should be held liable for any harassment that those people receive as a result of this article.
What part is fictitious? We can see from these email exchanges what some of the leadership among school librarians really thinks about parents and legislators. The fact that the NC supervisor seeking input about those adding LGBTQ+ materials equates conservative with oppressive speaks volumes.
I have still yet to see anyone of these loons name the books in question. And are their kids so dumb that they don’t believe their parenting is instilling good values? All I know is I raised my kids with a mind to think for themselves and I raised them with good Christian values – but I also raised them to respect the differences of others. We may not agree with every topic or lifestyle but didn’t Jesus try to bring people together not tear them apart? My kids had a fantastic education at A1 and they are not weak minded that I have to live in fear that my parenting is going to be overtaken by a school.
This is ridiculous. Mr. Truesdale is one of THE BEST teachers I have ever had, and Mrs. Cox is one of the most loving souls in Anderson D1. Give me some real evidence that these fabulous teachers have done any actual harm, not quotes taken out of context and biased bigotry. Don’t take away my teachers, you don’t even know them. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Here’s a list:
1. They contacted a number of students behind their parents back. Minor should NEVER be contacts unless thru the parents.
2. Making card catalog only available with login. The intent was to make sure LGTBQIWTF shit can be accessed by minor students, without parent knowledge, at my (taxpayer) expense.
Give me my teachers back. March 15, 2024 at 3:58 pm
Have you even met any of these teachers that you’re attacking? Mrs. Cox, also known as THE teacher of the YEAR 2020, single-handedly manages an entire library for YOUR children. Does she get paid well? NO. Does she get the credit she deserves for not only running multiple school clubs on her own time but also doing a job where mest schools give her one if not two assistants? NO. Mr. Truesdale, a well read animal lover whose first AP Language class wrote a BOOK about how amazing he was. I bet you would ban that too if you knew it was written by a man who advocated for something other than your conservative bigotry.
By this logic you could ban the Bible. Go read Leviticus and all of its exploits of “unclean” women and sexual relations. If you’re going to ban “pornagraphic” books, then by that reasoning ban the Bible too. I suppose we won’t be seeing that any time soon though, but of course, Mrs. Cox (teacher of the year) and Mr. Truesdale are the far left marxists. Make it make sense.
I’m all for banning pornography from schools, obviously children shouldn’t be reading porn and it shouldn’t be supplied to them. The issue i’m seeing with this article is the accusations being thrown towards these two are so severe and yet they are not backed with enough evidence. The students who were in the club showed the text messages that had been exchanged with Mr Truesdale for the club to show that no innapropiate behavior had occurred, the usage of the world children to make it seem as though they were showing this to 5-12 year olds when in reality it was 17-18 year olds in the club, teenagers, in other words. None of the books were named in this article but I would like to hear of what was shown. The only book I know related to this was “1000 Setting Suns” and students were offered an alternative book to read if they were not comfortable. Mrs Cox is a sweet librarian, and unlike this article portrays her she isn’t stalking around the hallways looking for young innocent kids to lure into the library and force them to read 50 shades of grey. I go to Wren, I am a student there, I’ve been in that library and i’ve gone through those shelves many times, and i’ve talked to Mrs Cox more times than i remember, she has clothes in the library for students who need clothes, and had bagged food in there for students struggling for food. A school librarian isn’t a millionaires job, she does it because she wants to, and creating her out to be this evil psychopath who wants to ruin the next generation, if she wanted to do that she’d be a politician.
I feel like everybody is missing the obvious. The fact that they are HIDING these books and LIEING about them not being available to kids when in fact they are, is the scariest part to me. If you will lie about books then what else are you telling our kids thats against the parents? Also, it would be nice to see someone write an article about the teachers not actually teaching anymore ( high school level) instead they give them something on the laptop to read and instruct them to do the attached assignment. And we wonder why SCs educational system is so bad. I fear for my grandchildrens future. It is bleak at best.
This article is evidence as to why South Carolina is ranked #42 for education in the country. Rather than focusing on how our students can expand, and grow scholastically, the focus somehow narrows in on what books should be hidden. Additionally, the other ironic factor that plays into the sick and twisted scenario, is the basis of the argument. The idea that “Porn shouldn’t be in books!”, is logical, but only applies when it aligns with their narrative. If properly done, removing porn from education would mean the complete elimination of ANY form of sexual content in schools. This means, say bye to any classic literature as well. Therefore, this is why the basis of this argument is blatantly homophobic. Not to mention, conservative leaders seem as if they would internally combust if they see a book with two men involved, but classify Romeo and Juliets love story as one of the most iconic love stories of all time. Even more ironically, the urge to hide sexual content evidently is not stopping South Carolina being ranked as number 11 for teen pregnancy. This high ranking comes from South Carolina’s inability to provide adequate sexual education, and the conservative control making it impossible to receive an abortion if teen pregnancy arises. It is crazy to me that in our leaders minds, a 16 year old is mature enough for motherhood, but too childlike to read a love story. Nonetheless, I say with the argument that instead of completely banning “pornographic books”, the focus should rather narrow in on safe, and consensual relationships. Hiding sexual content will just make the youth more eager to explore, which historically has ended harmfully. So, South Carolina, you are once again proving yourself to be the laughingstock of the national eduction system. I urge you to do better, or don’t expect to be taken seriously. -A former ASD1 student

Well stated!

Dang Will, you’ve upset the LGBTQASAPCRT book crowd! One wonders is they doth protest too much? awful lot of push back if there isn’t something to it.
