Teach kids to understand what’s good or bad so they can manage when they encounter it. You can’t prevent them from encountering it in today’s world. And all an Internet blocker teaches kids is how to learn to get around an Internet blocker.
San Francisco bureaucracy focuses on the wrong things. See this article for the backstory.
A San Francisco woman was faced with a $1,400 bill to keep her “Little Free Library” in front of her house after one complaint, even though it’s been there for years. I love these little library boxes that dot the city. There’s one on my block. They’re a great community addition.
I love San Francisco. But in a city that suffers from the ongoing drug epidemic and struggles with too many fentanyl overdoses, stories like this illustrate where the city bureaucrats focus on the wrong things.
Florida Gov. DeSantis has continued his crack down on books in Florida schools, leading to empty shelves where school libraries once stood and school librarians vilified and fearful they’ll be charged with felonies.
It’s awful, authoritarian, and dangerous.
There’s way too much talk of banning books in the US these days. Now Virginia Republicans are suing Barnes & Noble for selling specific books that there’s Republicans don’t like.
Maybe there’s a way to get them to stop trying to ban these books. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
There’s a surge in Banning Books in schools, many being banned for having LGBTQ+ content.
If reading books changed someone’s sexual identity or gender identity, don’t you think all the books (let alone movies, tv shows, etc) that LGBTQ people have read over the years would have turned them straight?
But instead, people give in to fear, hatred, and bigotry of how some people live, or whom they love, and decide to ban books. Even Judy Blume.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr is just the latest to do this, waiting years to share information the US population should know, releasing it when it will benefit him and his book sales. Capitalism first!
A Tennessee school board has decided to ban from district schools “Maus,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, due to a couple of curse words and nudity depicted in scenes at Auschwitz.
Just another example of us focusing on the wrong things in America.
