Disney Dipping Their Toes Into The Golden Era…

well, dress different and called yourself a different name other than given at birth and the right goes crazy. as if it was something contagious that can be passed from person to person.

Conservatives on average don't care what some person calls him or herself.  To the extent they get upset, it is about the insanity around it.

For example, most non-religious people don't care if someone goes to church.  What they would get upset about is being forced to pray in school, force to pray in their jobs, etc.  Being precluded from jobs unless they say they vow that they are religious.  Having every TV commercial pushing religion along with the product.  Being called a nazi if they don't pray.  Having religious flags everywhere.  Precluded from job advancement if they aren't overtly religious.  Having the government tell everyone that by being non-religious, they are enemies of the state or perhaps domestic terrorists.

You do too much of ramming that stuff down people's throats, and you provoke an inflammatory response.

By the way, some ideas can be like contagion at times.  See for example past fads of bulimia, self cutting, etc.

i agree with some of it.  but I still remember some of the right calling the vax the mark of the devil because it contains luciferase which it didnt.

but what exactly are we talking about here.  cant mention it because it's a suspension. by lets just say religion men and women or sick heterosexual men and women do most of it.

Dude, you are pure propaganda.  I've seen better responses from Soros paid trolls on youtube.

Oh I love the irony here. I love conservatives get butt hurt and act like the snowflakes that they complain about when someone doesn't believe in their beliefs. Explain to me why being LGBT is a bad thing? Is it due to the "teachings" of the made up man in the sky? You can have differing opinions but invalidating someones existence and wanting to purge them because you don't like them is crazy to me. That is all I have to say about the dumpster fire of a thread this is and how annoying this community is when it comes to this topic.

Well said Sir, but as a resident woke liberal, I fail to see anything to be gained. Some seem so frightened of truth that it's become illegal in many communities to teach the horrific history of slavery; to teach that gay and trans people exist (and always have); to allow all books and literature to remain in the public domain.

Sounds more like a redefinition of freedom.

Name the communities where it is illegal to teach about slavery in history class. 

Name the communities which teach that gay people and those who suffer from gender dysphoria do not, and have never existed.   

What are the books that have been pulled from public school libraries that you would like to see back on the shelf?

Florida doesn't teach about slavery in their history curriculum?  New to me and I live here.

How does Florida disparage gays and those who suffer from gender dysphoria?

What books have been pulled from the shelves of our public school libraries that you would like to see back on the shelf?

I lived decades around LA, San Francisco, and Seattle.  Now I live in a conservative part of Tennessee.  It would be judged more conservative than a bunch of Texas and Florida.

My daughters are in public school here.  I can assure you that they are taught about the Civil War, slavery, Native Americans, that gay and trans people exist, etc.

There are disagreements here on what goes into children's school libraries (such as pornographic stuff).  It's not about what is available to adults.

You might want to review your home state laws. Legislation passed in Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi in 2022 regulates how the teachers can discuss racism, sexism, and issues of systemic inequality in the classroom. And no, I won't look up the actual bill numbers for you... get in the game.

Some specific books banned in Florida Texas and some other southern states: The Handmaid's Tale; Flamer; Crank; A Court of Mist and Fury... I could go on but there were 874 book titles banned between July 1,2022 and December 1,2022 and I just suck at typing fast. Further, let's be clear, I don't want to see any particular title added to a school curriculum but I will never support banning of books based on the valuation of politicians.

You might want to review your home state laws. Legislation passed in Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi in 2022 regulates how the teachers can discuss racism, sexism, and issues of systemic inequality in the classroom.

What the bills say, and what some news articles say the bills say, are different.  For example, in Florida, it is prohibited to teach that:

"1. Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin are morally superior to members of another race, color, sex, or national origin.
2. An individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously."

And so on.

Teaching about racism, sexism, etc. being bad and about their history are allowed and a standard part of curricula.

Some specific books banned in Florida Texas and some other southern states:

Some books banned in Burbank, California in 2020:
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Of Mice and Men
The Cay
Roll of Thunder, Hear me Cry

We aren't talking about adults here.  They get to read whatever.  We are talking about what is in the kid's library at local school.

Parents in different communities have different opinions on what they do and don't want their kids to read.  That's OK.  It is up to them how their kids are brought up and what they read.  If one community wants Huck Finn in the library.  OK.  If another doesn't want it.  OK.

If a parent wants his kid to read a book that isn't in the school library, the parent can get it from the public library, buy it from Amazon, buy it from the used-book store.  There are lots of books I want my kids to read that aren't in the school's library.  So, I get them for my kids.  No biggie.

Zero wrong with Florida..except inhumane temps and humidity

Those that think there is usually thinks NYC and California are wonderful so we don't really care what they think..

We also are against illegal immigration

Plenty of blacks and gays running around here..I worked with dozens of them for years in software development

Please make a mountain out of a different mole hill
