These fascist snowflakes need to be marginalized in a strong way
Dead Uvalde children hate this one trick
As if pigs can read.
This reminds me of the Chickenfucker South Park episode.

This is such a genius comment 😂
In today’s

Really going out of his way there to be offended.
From the article:
Paul Hyde, a Granbury attorney who served on the volunteer committee tasked with reviewing dozens of school library books, said he informally advised two of the accused librarians early in London’s investigation and saw the toll it has taken on them.
“These women, that are amazing educators and librarians, have been terrified for over two years now that they’re going to get arrested, hauled off to jail on a felony charge of providing pornography to minors,” Hyde said, noting that one of the librarians left the district as a result.
“We lost a great librarian,” he said.
Anyone who thinks it’s a non-issue because charges weren’t filed should understand that intimidation is the point. It looks like the intimidation worked.
Pigfucker County: Everyone Left?
Drive out enough librarians and eventually youʼll find yourself needing to drive 4 hours to get a tool pulled or a melanoma whacked off since good dentists and doctors usually want decent schools with libraries for their kids.
needing to drive 4 hours to get a tool pulled
This is why you should always use tools with a flared base.
Why don’t stores that sell books get the same amount of scrutiny? I see A Court of Thorns and Roses books everywhere.
Serious answer, probably because books from book stores aren’t available to the poorest classes. Libraries are (and are meant to be!) a threat to every status quo.
This is specifically a school library, not a public library. And no, I do not support book-banning in any way, shape, or form. Just keeping the facts straight.
And no, I do not support book-banning in any way, shape, or form.
Just so you know, I didn’t think you did. I hope my response didn’t come across that way.
No, not at all, I just think calling this socio-economic class-based is incorrect. Being in school is not a class (no pun intended).
To support the idea that it is class based, I suspect we will find it is being selectively applied to poorer communities, which specifically drives the most able-to-change-jobs (often the best) librarians to move to other communities where this is not being applied.
I base my assumption on historic selective enforcement of other laws with similar vulnerability to abuse - such as selective enforcement during prohibition.
I believe that if librarians, of any kind, are being targeted, we should suspect class warfare because libraries are historically a source of improved equity.
So my assertion is that any action taken against any library should be examined carefully under a lens of suspected class warfare.
If you don’t think that Republicans are interested in an all-out assault on libraries in general, I kindly suggest you check a book out about it from your local library (while you still can).
But public libraries and public librarians are also under attack.
Because this is a boil-the-frog situation. The path is k-12 school libraries -> public libraries -> academic libraries and bookstores. The way fascists get the public comfortable with the idea of banning books is by starting with examples that look like “common sense” to the uninformed, and then ramp up the attacks as they gain institutional power.
While attempts to ban books from stores are currently few and far between, one notable example was this attempt to get Gender Queer removed from the shelves of bookstores in Virginia: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/05/20/gender-queer-barnes-and-noble/
cops will only read a book if it means they can put someone in jail
You’re assuming they can read at all
The police are so absurdly radicalized in this country.
They’ve been doing stuff like this for years. In 1990, a Florida judge ruled that an album by 2 Live Crew was obscene, and police officers went into stores and threatened to arrest anyone who sold copies of the album. The obscenity law specifically requires a “lack of serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value” and they were able to get it appealed.
Reading the article it’s actually more insane than it first appears. He’s been doing it for two years. This wasn’t an investigation ordered by a court, it was evidence he himself was compiling for his own legal complaint, which was dismissed when finally brought to the DA.
The minor these materials were distributed to? The officer that was investigating the library. Cuz he’s obviously a big fuckin’ baby.
Or because he likes reading sexy books on his work time.
I am of the belief that people who spend this much time in the mindset of trying to find "inappropriate material minors are reading"are in fact, just pursuing a really weird fucking kink or getting off on it in some way.
I refuse to believe that this cop isn’t stuck in some kind of pedo-adjacent sexual obsession.
Dream job lol. Do whatever you want, no strings attached, no requerements, no responsibility, and you are entitled to a higher position in any dispute with civilians. They aren’t a part of the working class, they are a class of their own, lapdogs of the ones in power. How could this happen?
I see you got new name.
I agree.
I’m happy it didn’t hurt my brand recognition. It’s bad for business.
Cop: these books made me horny, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing me to get turned on by a book, in fact I’m going to confiscate all of them so no one else has to be turned on by this filth.
