        It must be humiliating to see conservatives pushing a conservative agenda and have no response to it except “no you”.

        Have you even thought this through logically, or do you just bleat what you’re told to?

        If support having police search schools to ensure gender identity is suitably suppressed, you should be proudly taking credit for it as a conservative.

        If you don’t support it, conservatives have made it clear that this is their agenda and if you don’t support it, you’re no longer welcome among conservatives.

        So what’s it going to be? Are you going to openly support current Republican policies, pretend you do, pretend you don’t, switch to the party you’ve been trying to throw your shit at or just not vote?

        Is this really the corner you want to back yourself into for shit-tier jabs like “Must be a Democrat”?

    on top of doing nazi shit - in the 7 or so minutes he was covering his camera, he only uncovers it for the second or two that the teacher bends over in front of him. what a scum fuck

    To bad there wasn’t a School Shooter killing all the kids. Then the cops would have left everyone alone!

    Republicans sure do love creating the nanny/police state that they accused Democrats of wanting to create through… (checks notes) public health measures like temporarily wearing masks to protect against a global pandemic. And Republicans are doing it all over a non-existent problem (or at least their claimed reason for doing it).

    The cop is going about this wrong. The teacher that brought that book in is also wrong. They are wrong to assume the illustrations are appropriate for young children, I’m not talking about the queer aspect, it shows illustrations of oral sex. The teacher should be reprimanded by administrators, if no law was broken, the police shouldn’t be involved.

      This was an eighth grade class room, they’ve been through sex-ed. Withholding knowledge about how their physical bodies work won’t help them, and can create issues of their own. I thumbed through the pages (and you can too) and nothing was terribly pornagraphic.

        I’ve read it. It’s designed for at least seniors in high school if not college age. It talks about visiting kink.com among other mature subjects. It’s an interesting exploration of someone who is trying to find themselves, but it isn’t eighth grade material.

        Still, there’s no reason to send a cop to hunt it down like this is Farenheit 451.

          Of course it’s eighth grade material, and also appropriate for younger children. Any kid interested should have access to the book. It’s written exactly for the kids who need it.

        Get real, “withholding knowledge ” …part of raising a child is understanding when to expose them to information, you do it everyday. This material is probably appropriate for a high school library.

          This wasn’t required reading, it was a resource. These are also teenagers, the last grade before high school in my district. Some districts merge earlier, so I guess it would be ‘in a high school library’ at that point. I’m not sure why you’re so personally upset about a book that you haven’t read.

          You decide when it’s appropriate for a kid to wonder about their sexuality. Can’t have kids deciding what they’re wondering about.

            Didn’t say that I decide when it’s appropriate for them to wonder. But it’s your job as a parent to be mindful of what media including books your child is consuming. Just because it’s written in a book doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for anyone who “wonders”.

      Any questions any kid has about growing up, certainly including questions about their bodies and sexuality, should be easily answerable from an open shelf at the school library.

        This book was brought in by a teacher, it wasn’t in the library. School librarians screen for age appropriate material.
