Republicans hope to use education wars to turn purple suburbia red.​

In one Pennsylvania district, that backfired​

"Monster Liberty": That's how the otherwise excellent closed-captioning service in the auditorium at Pennridge High School interpreted "Moms for Liberty," while one of several dozen citizens who had waited in line to lambast the group spoke at the podium. A chuckle rose up among the parents in the crowded school board meeting, held on a late August evening after the first day of classes for the Pennridge School District in suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania. "Fair enough," one mother whispered to another.

That wasn't the only moment of levity that evening, which saw a robust crowd of largely irate parents speak out against the adoption of a social studies curriculum linked to far-right organizations like Moms for Liberty and Hillsdale College. Before the meeting, people exchanged wisecracks about "talented clappers" — an inside-joke reference to an email circulated among local conservatives that appealed for sympathetic outsiders to turn out and applaud the right-wing agenda: "You do not need to be a resident to attend and clap," it advised, for "policies that bless and protect our children."

These are the repug book banners, who we tossed out. Ladies, they only want to take your - and your children's - rights away. Abortion & book banning.

These people are so busy pushing their radical right agenda, they aren't at home to raise their kids which is why they turn into right wing monsters, bad parenting.

Owell's novel 1984 concerns what happens when you wind up having a country with a totalitarian regime in charge. But they banned it because there is a brief mention of Winston & a woman having sex. These are the same fascists who never talk about sex to their kids. So the kids grow up with their heads screwed up.

To me, sexual repression is what causes so many republicans to be ****ed up in the head. Just look at the number of pastors, preachers, priests and bible study folks end up getting busted for child sex.

Religion in general is anti-sex.

I know, I can't tell you how many times the nuns had me growing hair on my palms and going blind for jerking off.

Ok but don't lie - you have to shave those palms weekly, don'tcha. And if you aren't wearing your corrective lenses you risk cutting your wrists.

GOTCHA, YA IMMORAL LIB!
