    I wish conservatives would turn their attention to real problems instead of spending time on passing anti-LGBT legislation and banning books from libraries.
    Uh, you are the one that originally brought it up…on a true nothingburger, to try to show *Something??
    Where is the anti-LGBQ legislation? Where are the banned books? That is other than the ones who should be moved away to an age appropriate library section?
    I really want the Democrats to run on a platform that is against parental control. That sure worked for them in Virginia.

    Here's just some of hundreds of books that have been banned, and the "age appropriate" canard is just that.

    Nice attempt to baffle with Bullshit. We can all see now that Paul has come out as Anti-Catholic and anti Morality. You must be so proud.
    Just because some zealot on a side of the aisle proposes something doesn’t mean it becomes law. Dems have zealots that propose stuff that is ludicrous too but you seem to always just ignore that.
    However, if there is a book that is allegedly written for 7 year olds that has human genitalia and oral sex depicted, yeah. Ban that porn.

    Didn’t “you guys” go after Dr. Suess, Dave Chapelle, and Chick-Fil-A and, and, and. Oh yeah, read people are asking a Clease to remove the Judith scene from the Life of Brian play adaptation. Heard he responded, “of course not, we’re the People’s Front of Judea!”

    No one is really banning anything. Heck, I didn’t know Target was an issue until last weekend.

    I'm unclear who is calling for a boycott of Chick-Fil-A that needs to be taken seriously. I don't doubt that there are individuals, but I haven't heard anyone here jumping on that bandwagon.

    You wish conservatives would turn their attention to real problems. Who gets to define what a real problem is?

    Utah primary schools banned the Bible for vulgarity and violence. God help the kid who gets caught with one.

    There are certainly age appropriate books, and they should be read by the correct ages.

    Banning Shel Silverstein because he has a poem about broken dishes, because you afraid your child might break some dishes seems to be a bit much.

    The story does not actually indicate that the books were banned, where or by whom. It says, "Parents believe" and "parents expressed concern".

    God forbid parents should be concerned about what their children are being taught in school. The greater concern is the lack of parent concern and involvement in their children's education.
