A fine example on how to twist any subject into pure nonsense, I suspect you've been to law school.

Okay if I am drunk so I want you to answer a question.

Are the red states banning books and actually a lot of those books are on Black history especially Texas and Florida. But they do nothing to prevent a 18 year old kid buying an assault rifle and walk into a classroom and slaughter 18 kids, and the only option on the right is do nothing.

(SO BURN THERE BOOKS AND THEN SLAUGHTER THE KIDSIS THE RIGHT WING IDEOLOGY)

(PREVENT ABORTIONS IN THE CASE OF RAPE, Incest, HEALTH OF THE MOTHER AND SLAUGHTER THESE KIDS WHEN THEY GO TO SCHOOL)

As of today Mass Killings is the leading cause of death for kids. Congratulations your a true American and your language falls right into the Donald Trump language just insult and avoid facts.

First off the bat: You are a liar.

Next: why are you avoiding the question: Do you believe that Hustler magazine should be allowed in elementary schools?

And all guns are already banned in schools.

AirFart1, conservative people only want to keep sexually explicit books away from all preteens.


The Second Amendment states:
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. (source: constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-2/

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State

We don’t forget about that part, also known as the prefatory clause, something you covered in English class, or I hope you did. A prefatory clause announces a purpose but does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause.

In this case, the operative clause is:

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed

The prefatory clause just announces why the operative clause is needed. It can be disregarded or replaced by almost anything without really changing the meaning of the operative clause. It could read as:

Because our government might try to impose a tyrannical rule,I need a good breakfast so,George over there says,

And it would have no effect on the meaning of the second part. It could also be completely deleted.

But, if you really REALLY want to keep the first part, I’ll translate it into modern lingo for you:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State

a well-regulated militia is in modern lingo, a well-maintained, well trained and kept Militia (well-regulated does not mean with a shitton of regulations covering it…, just like a well-regulated clock is one that functions well, not one that is governed by regulations).
And I ask you, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials - George Mason. Meaning everyone is a part of the militia (or at least, every adult citizen of the United States)free State does not refer to a State like Texas, Missouri, Commiefornia etc., but to the State of being Free. For you as a person to be free.

So if we translate the entire Second Amendment into modern, it would read as:

Because a well organized Militia is necessary to ensure the Freedom of every citizen, the government, both State and Federal shall not make any attempt to infringe on the Right of the People to own and bear arms of any kind

The books that would be banned from our children's libraries were embarrassing to read in the house floor. No children should be exposed to these perverse books. The author who wrote one of them available n the schools said that it was not meant or should be there for the kids to read. You need to have common sense. The history that you claim we don't want our kids to be taught is Critical race theory is not substantiated as truth and is merely one persons theory. The information given should be up for a critical eye and a good looking into What we don't want our children to be taught in the schools is hatred and racism of any kind and that is what is being taught to them. If you want to get a better picture of black history check out the black history Bible. A documentary based on this is Systematic Deception. This will give you a better truth of the matter. Do a little research on lynching's and even on slavery. You have much to learn. Lynching's happened to all races. Every watch "Hang Em High". In those days that is how the laws and out laws at that time dealt. Slavery happened years and years before Christ and by all races. Check on Slavery today. There is more slavery today than ever before. There is also an African country that has slavery today. There is slavery in China and other countries. We want our people to love one another and love our nation. All people living together in peace and harmony. Any objections to that?

Anyone who thinks that inappropriate sexual books should not be banned from school libraries is a pervert!! Gee - I have never seen children in school hallways with assault rifles that should be banned!! The racist 'savages' in history you mention were DEMOCRATS - the party YOU support!! Black history is being taught but you support the anti-white discrimination in CRT!! You are the worst racist on this forum and can`t even get your history right!!

I didn't know HUSTLER was still in print but of course Not! Now Please tell me what School Library or any library has HUSTLER Magazine avail for check out or for that matter PLAYBOY, PENTHOUSE or any Adult Only Magazine.

The intent was to force AF1 to respond - he claims books are being 'banned' - which is ludicrous.

And schools (specifically the 'school board' - usually elected people) have the right (actually DUTY) to select the books which will be available to children.

Books are not typically banned (some are because they are considered pornographic) in the US. Restricted - yes - in schools, etc.

No Hustler should not be in school but that shows the ignorance Hustler is not a school book it’s a porn magazine. WTH is wrong with you. With your stupid comment every kid has a phone and they can access all the porn they want so should we ban phones. By the way what the hell school does your kid go to that you had to ban Hustler. Are you saying the school purchased hustler magazine for a schoolbook.

Well the leading cause of death to children are mass killings in classrooms by using an assault weapon and your ideology is to do nothing.

And don’t quote the 2nd amendment because the intent was to form a militia

Do you think this country should have common sense Gun control. For example stop the sale of assault rifles to kids under 21. Background checks

Answer this question a 16 year old kid walks into a gun shop purchases an AR-15 400 rounds of ammunition and a full bulletproof vest and not be questioned why.

"Respectfully disagree?" There's nothing respectful about you.

The Left has banned books, classics, like To Kill a Mockingbird; Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; The Cay; Of Mice and Men; and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because all they could get out of them was something racist. Yet you promote the most sexually explicit sexual perversion books for small children. I expect this is because you're so disgustingly irrational you do not recognize sexual perversions.

I'll see your "facts" and raise you an analysis of those "facts".

https://www.edweek.org/leadership/education-statistics-facts-about-american-schools/2019/01

"There are 128,961 public and private K-12 schools in the U.S., according to 2019-20 data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)"

3362 ('22-'23, 2532 in '21-'22) book bans cited by P.E.N. sounds like a lot, until you take into account how many schools are out there - but wait - there's more!!!

https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/parents-objecting-pornographic-material-school-libraries-arent-book-banners

Note: This information was researched after P.E.N posted their '21-'22 data

"The entire conversation on “book banning” has taken place under a false definition promulgated by PEN America, a left-wing advocacy group that purports to monitor an unprecedented spike in “bans.” But it defines “ban” so expansively as to render that term meaningless.
- If a book has been temporarily removed, reviewed and then returned to the shelves, it has been banned, according to PEN.
- If a school places a parental permission requirement on a book, it has been banned, according to PEN.
- If a school moves a book to a guidance counselor’s office, it has been banned, according to PEN.
We conducted a study to determine how many of the 2,532 books that PEN America alleged were banned were actually still present in school libraries. The answer: About three-fourths of them.

The media has fabricated the narrative that book bans are about race. We found that while some parents have certainly objected to books about race, school districts seldom oblige that objection. For example, PEN America listed the Black Lives Matter-inspired “The Hate U Give” as the fifth most banned book. We found it available in every single school library in question.

The media has also fabricated the narrative that book bans are about LGBTQ identity. But, as The Washington Post documented, only 7% of parental objections included “LGBTQ” without also including the word “sexual.”

All 10 of the books we found that were actually removed most often contained disturbingly explicit passages about sex. Take, for example, the most-banned “Gender Queer.” That graphic novel features a picture of oral sex being performed on a sex toy. It also contains an X-rated passage.

Lest you think we’re cherry-picking, consider the other top 10 most-removed books.
- “This Book Is Gay” provides a how-to guide to find strangers for sex on gay sex apps.
- “Out of Darkness” contains a rape.
- “l8r g8r” (Later Gator) contains discussions of oral sex.
- “All Boys Aren’t Blue” contains underage incest.
- “It’s Perfectly Normal” contains drawings of children masturbating.
- “Lawn Boy” contains a passage about 10-year-old boys performing oral sex on each other.
- “Jack of Hearts” talks about a condom that is “covered in s—-.”
- “Crank” details a meth-fueled rape.
- “Lucky” also details a rape.
- “A Court of Mist and Fury,” tame by comparison, contains an extremely explicit sexual passage.

The true significance of so-called book bans is not some resurgent racist or fascist impulse exhibited by a faction of American parents. It’s the profound moral disconnect between the 90% of Americans who believe that sexually obscene material does not belong in school libraries and an education establishment broadly convinced that it’s good, necessary and “inclusive” to show children explicit images of sexual acts."

That last part is considered grooming and most Americans will not tolerate it. So, my friend, this is what I think about your "pile 'o facts".
