@hubrys said in Karen in FL files criminal charges because school library didn't censor a LGBTQ book.:

So, according to your article, the book was not available at any of that school system's elementary schools. It was included in a general list of books produced by an outside high school oriented literacy organization for use in out-of-school voluntary literacy clubs.
So, basically, raphjd is full of shit?

According to THE article, I didn't write the article.

Booksource, a book retail company, creates Project Lit book club lists and forwards these lists to educator and teachers telling them the books that should be in their libraries and classrooms. It is a marketing scheme to sell books that lazy Liberal educator and teachers eat up. These lists gives them more resources to indoctrinate children. If they were real teachers not advocates for a Liberal agenda they would dismiss this marketing as the shit it is. They would do their own reading and research and stop being spoon fed by others to make their job easier.

The one where you forgot to log out of your sock puppet geobear40 account and back into your raphjd account before responding to my post?

I am know ones sock puppet. We are two separate people.

Typical Liberal tack tick, attack the person to avoid the indefensible position

raphid is a bit extreme for me. I did some research on his claim for myself and decided to share it is all.

If you are passing them out I would Love one

@hubrys said in Karen in FL files criminal charges because school library didn't censor a LGBTQ book.:

So, show me where this book was in an elementary school library.

I was unable to find a elementary library listing for the book but I found this reference:

https://shawneemissionpost.com/2021/10/12/shawnee-mission-all-boys-arent-blue-133941/

In addition, Project Lit lists the specific book in question as a resource for children aged 12-18, and as 12-year-olds/ sixth graders in Shawnee Mission are in elementary school, concerns have been raised that the book could potentially be accessible by elementary school students. We have checked, and none of our elementary schools have this book. Again, it is not a book that is included in the curriculum at any level in the district.

I have facts to back me up as I bet you think you do. The funny thing about facts it the interpretation of the facts that gets people into trouble.

@bi4smooth
You forgot to mention that the CDC like CNN is a politically motivated organization and they both favor the Liberal point of view. Both pick and choice science facts that follow their political narrative.

@bi4smooth said in Trump goes to the Dark Side...:

In the Interview, former President Trump says many things - but none quite so provocative as these excerpts:

"The vaccine works" (referring to COVID-19 vaccines developed under his Operation Warp Speed initiative in 2020)
"Look... the results of the vaccine are very good, very good... and if you do get it" (referencing COVID-19), it's a very minor thing. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine!" (again, referring to the COVID-19 vaccine)
When pressed by Ms. Owens, Mr. Trump doubled-down: "Well no! The vaccine works!" The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine! But, it's still their choice... and if you TAKE the vaccine, you are protected.
Trump also touted his role in developing the vaccines - perhaps taking a little too much credit, but certainly SOME credit is due! He said, **"I came up with the vaccine... with all 3 vaccines! All are very VERY good. I came up with 3 of them in less than 9-months!"
Don't be like the Liberal media and only give the answer to questions to leave it the reader as to what he responded to.

For the record, Mr. Trump has the best of all worlds with regards to immunity to COVID-19:

He contracted, and later recovered from, a severe COVID-19 infection - requiring hospitalization and receiving advanced treatment from the White House & Navy physicians in charge of Presidential well-being.
He later received the Pfizer 2-dose mRNA vaccine.
He even later (recently) received a 3rd, booster, shot of the same Pfizer vaccine.

Where is your data the supports your a natural immunity and a shot is statistically greater than natural immunity alone. What about the fact that vaccine immunity wanes in a short period of time. It is more like a flu shot then a measles vaccine.

Clearly, Mr. Trump has not been recently briefed by the same Russian Trolls who feed information to the likes of @raphjd and @lololulu19 and others...

Or, perhaps he has the best possible doctors in the country, and he has received sound medical advise from them, which he has followed - resulting in his taking a total of 3 doses now of the Pfizer vaccine.... because it works!

I will use your own word "Statistical samples of 1 are always definitive! I'm glad you've been healthy, but your good fortunes (on many levels) hardly apply to large populations..."

Or, maybe he has gone to the dark side, and sided with Big Pharma in the great hoax!

What great hoax are you referring to? It could not be the one about Big Pharma, that has been proven many time over, that they charge more for drugs to people in the US then in anywhere else in the World or is it the one where they put more research money into drugs that threat then drugs that cure.

@bi4smooth said in Are the appoved Covid Kits made in USA or China?:

"Project Warp Speed" was a Federal Gov't spending initiative, started in the Trump Administration, where the US Gov't paid - up-front - for massive amounts of research into COVID-19 vaccines, in exchange for pre-arranged purchasing agreements. They spent about $12-billion under the name Warp Speed, and while the program still exists, it's not under the name anymore. (Politics!)

It also provided protection from liability "How much has Operation Warp Speed funded the development of the COVID-19 vaccine?
The US programme known as Operation Warp Speed provided US$18 billion in funding for development of vaccines that were intended for US populations. Depending on safety and efficacy, vaccines can become available through mechanisms for emergency use, expanded access with informed consent, or full licensure.Mar 26, 2021

but when measured against the original 50% "goal," they're still doing QUITE WELL!

With that kind of logic you could make anything sound great.

Oh, and by the way: the Pfizer vaccine is fully approved by the FDA - with the Moderna & J&J vaccines both still authorized, and with full approval in the works (the only difference is a paperwork one - you can get any of them still, and if there were any DANGERS at this point, they would pull the EUA and just lean on the others.

Next time don't swallow what the MSM feeds you.

But when you want to make up lies & mislead people to support your argument, that's just not helpful...

Show me the lie and I will correct it if necessary.

@hubrys
So back to the topic. Have any of you read the book? I haven't but I downloaded it and Found these choice paragraphs:

"He reached his hand down and pulled out my dick. He quickly went to giving me head. I just sat back and enjoyed it as I could tell he was, too. He was also definitely experienced in what he was doing, because he went to work quite confidently. He then came up and asked me if I wanted to try on him. I said sure. I began and he said, “Watch your teeth.” I didn’t want to let him know I was inexperienced. So, I slowed down and took my time and luckily got into a good rhythm. He didn’t know I was a virgin, and I did my best to act dominant like my favorite porn star. I was an actor, and this was my movie."

"I remember the condom was blue and flavored like cotton candy. I put some lube on and got him up on his knees, and I began to slide into him from behind. I tried not to force it because I imagined that it would be painful; I didn’t want this moment to be painful. So I eased in, slowly, until I heard him moan.

As we moved, I could tell he was excited—I was, too, but the pride in me told me not to show it. I felt like I was in control and proud of myself for getting it right on the first try—all the while still being nervous. I wanted to stay dominant in that moment. We went at it for about fifteen minutes before I started to get that feeling. Weakness in the legs, numbness in the waist. I finally came and let out a loud moan—to the point where he asked me to quiet down for the neighbors. I pulled out of him and kissed him while he masturbated. Then, he also came."

I found those with less than 10 mins of review.

If that doesn't change your mind how about looking at what the BIASED writer in the CNN article:

"A library should carry books for those teenagers who have the agency to choose books (by themselves) or for those parents who want their children to read certain books," Johnson said.
"You don't get to make that choice for all teenagers, you get to make that choice for your teenager, and your teenager only," they added.

No teenager has free agency to make any choices. They are beholden to their parents until they reach the age of consent at 18. If parents want their children exposed to this sort of erotica they can purchase it or check it out from the adult section of the public library.

Government and/or Schools should NEVER expose something to a minor that parents object to. At the very least they should create an adult/parental consent section that is closely monitored by the library staff.

It is not CENSORSHIP to remove such content from school libraries. These are minors and their exposure or non-exposure is under the control of their parents not the Liberal school boards or teachers. Children are sent to school to be educated not indoctrinated.

PS I don't think that this shouldn't be read by questioning teens but their parents should read and discuss it with their teen. That is what I would do if I was a parent.

@eobox91103
It is true that more people who have been unvaccinated have died.

But more vaccinated people are getting the Omicron variant then the unvaccinated,

Why are you so hyped up on a virus that has a death rate of 1.8% and most of those had underling conditions.

If people listen to some stranger on rather they should get the shot they deserve what happens to them.

@eobox91103
She had Covid and therefore has better immunity then someone who is vaccinated.
Besides that 98.2% of people who get Covid 19 who survive and vaccinated people are 90% to 95% better odds.
Is it worth it to you to get a shot that has not been approved by the FDA?

I'm am vaccinated and have the booster because I have several under lining conditions so I am in a bit higher risk group and taking the vaccine works for me.

But if you are young and health and are among the 98.2% of people that survive why would you take the risk of the experimental vaccine.

This is a decision made between you and your doctor and should not be mandated by the government, your employer or a school/university.

I knew when I was about 5 that I liked boys instead of girls.

@raphjd
What is the next edict on that slipper slope?

"Crime" is racist because non-whites disproportionally commit more crime.
"Welfare" is racist
"Gangs" are racist
"Education " is racist because non-whites disproportionally don't graduate

I don't know - "too much freedom" can be daunting. In the 1970's and 1980's there were a number of Soviet dissidents that made it to the US as political refugees.... they were unable to function in a simple grocery store. How do you choose between 50 different kinds of toilet paper, when you've only known ONE? Or breakfast cereals?

Good example

The point here isn't that freedom is bad - only that it can be overwhelming... and stressful!

Only to people who have never had Freedom before. Not to the 99.99% of the population of the UK who were born in a free-ish country.

I have seen this in some of my own children when they first move away from home. They thought they were prepared, but then they have to remember to pay the rent, the power, the water, the insurance, the garbage, the cable, the Internet, the credit cards... ALL THOSE BILLS! Then you also have to make your own Dr & dentist appointments, AND schedule the time off from work, AND convince your boss you're not "playing hookie" AND deal with / plan for the reduction of income because you're not working all of your regular shifts... and and and!
It's overwhelming at first... but you adjust (I refer to it as "Adulting 101")

That could be alleviated in Childern who are taught life lesson by their parents (I refer to it as "Parenting 101")

But adding stress DOES often result in cardiac issues... but that doesn't mean all stress is bad!

True but it doesn't cause it in young people nor does climate changes cause heart attacks.

Suicide rates SKYROCKET around the holidays... but that doesn't mean we cancel Christmas!

True but it has nothing to do with the post.

The articles our examples of the controlling nanny state using FEAR to keep their subjects in line and scared so they don't stand up for their Freedom and no longer need the parental government.

@lololulu19
Biden doesn't take responsibility for anything.

More people have died under Biden with vaccines and therapeutics then under Trump with nothing.

Think about it: If Trump had not created and executed WARP SPEED, how many more people would have died under Biden? not to mention all of the people worldwide who have been vaccinated and saved thanks to Trump's presidency.

@geobear40
Is the president making sure that the test kits are MADE IN THE USA or are we shipping more manufacturing jobs to communist China?

I would bet that they are manufactured in China and then shipped to the US and will spend weeks anchored off the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Mayor Pete (who know nothing about transportation) is on the job so no worries.

The Biden administration announced today that 500,000 Covid 19 test kits have been ordered and will be available starting in January.

Translation: We just now thought about ordering them and the first shipment is expected sometime in January. They won't say how many will be available to distribute in January nor will they say how they will be allocated.

They have not bothered to plan that out yet. It maybe sometime in the Summer before they are readily available.

They are not talking about treatment drugs. I think they over purchased vaccines and will wait until there supply runs out before they move on to other things.

I have heard that there are better vaccines in the pipeline but they are not using WARP SPEED to get those done. Keep producing a vaccine that still has not been approved by the FDA that require boosters every six month.

The Pharma cabal doesn't want to create cures because there is more money in treatment.

@geobear40
Back of the topic: Can we all agree that masking children causes more harm then good.

How many kids have died of COVID-19?
Of the 73 million children in the U.S., fewer than 700 have died of COVID-19 during the course of the pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Rauch puts the figure into context using the number of people who can typically fit into a sports venue.

"Think about it in terms of football stadiums," Rauch said. "In 100,000 kids, one of them is not going to make it with COVID. Everyone else who walked in is going to walk out."

About 50,000 children under 14 have died of all causes since the start of the pandemic, according to the CDC.
