Too late to opt-out: Supreme Court ultimately can't save the religious right's futile book bans

Human beings with some serious issues.
Gay and trans folk have always existed.
Same sex sexual activity has been observed in every species scientists have observed for any amount of time.
Thus, while not as prevalent as opposite sex sexual activity, it is still every bit as natural.
It's obvious you despise them.
It's obvious the right wants to eradicate them.
Or, at the very least, push them all back into the shadows they've dwelled in for far too long.
But they are a natural part of life on this planet just like you.
And no amount of your small minded hatred can nor will ever change that.
 
Vague. It doesn't speak to the requirement that they be removed.
The people who the school is for make the requirement that they should be removed.

The school is the servant of the people who pay for it
Could one say they were "prohibited" from the classroom?
No prohibiting something is not the same as not making it available. For instance you cannot make the satanic verses available or minekamph. But as long as the teachers aren't confiscating a student's book it's not prohibited.
 
Children have the right to age-appropriate, pro-LGBTQ education. It is harmful not just to LGBTQ kids but to heteronormative kids to deprive them of this.
Do they have a right to pro religeous material as well in the same setting?

Things are removed for lots of reasons.

Is there any word in the English language acceptable to you that describes the removal as based on law?
 
Can anyone here name any so-called "banned" book that I can't buy online and have delivered to my home within 3 days?
It isn't about a universal ban. It has to do with age appropriate material. One of the books on the list to ban from elementary schools describes the sexual contact between kids. You will find that most the books lied have a reason. These are books that in a theater would be rated R or X, at a minimum PG.
 
Do they have a right to pro religeous material as well in the same setting?
They have all the same rights as you.
And I find it revolting that you strive to rob them of that.
What kind of person are you?
 
Be it gay, straight, alien, robot, whatever kink you're into, it's simply not acceptable to be presenting 7 year olds and younger with sexually oriented material.
Yet they want to.

Anyone wanting a child to have such sexual material is a pervert, flat out and simple. Even similar heterosexual sexual material,. they are a pervert.

That is outside the scope of this discussion.

Your hatred of queer and trans folk is the root cause of this discussion.
However, I'm not surprised that someone of your "caliber" remains blissfully unaware of facts.

The only ones I "hate" if you must call it that, are the ones who do not leave other people's children alone.

Damn perverts.

What drives them to have to influence kids? Why do they shit in the faces of these children's parents?

The parents have the right to raise their children as they choose.

I am completely aware of the facts., Why aren't you?

What sexual material?
All books that mention sex?
You cannot just attach some generic "sex" label then start calling everyone who asks for clarification "perverts".

Before you say these books on the banning list should not be, you should read one as need what they say. One on them describes one boy stroking another boys ****. There has been a list presented before of some passages in these books.

Do you approve of such material in an elementary school library?

What facts?
What material are you blabbering about?
From what I've gleaned from your out of touch, bigoted posts from the past, you believe allowing children to be aware of same sex couples is "perverted".
I've asked you directly in the past, "where did you come by your belief that gay folks are perverts..... you've never responded.

How would you describe the government removing them based on law?

I just looked up some of the books bigoted ignorami are attempting to ban.
They include:
*To Kill a Mockingbird
* 1984
* The catcher in the eye
* Of mice and men
* The perks of being a wallflower
* The Handmaidens tale
* and any and all book with any LGBQT content.
I'm wondering.
Are you proposing that the United States begins censoring content?
Or just all content you find "perverted"?
 
Perfectly legitimate, the same way we have movie ratings.

That doesn't describe it being removed by law.

Cmon now, how would you say it? The book was ____.

Can you fill in the blank with a word describing it as removed by law?

You have some expanded list. Maybe a fake list. Not all schools are asking that all that be banned.
