BAN THESE BOOKS!

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 14, 2023
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HELD A HEARING ON CENSORSHIP AND THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY GOT MORE THAN THEY MIGHT HAVE BARGAINED FOR. AFTER HEARING TESTIMONY THAT CLAIMED MORE THAN 1,000 BOOKS HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, LOUISIANA SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY READ FROM TWO OF THEM THAT ARE THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL. ONE IS CALLED “GENDER QUEER” WHICH FEATURES YOUNG BOYS HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER. THE OTHER IS CALLED “ALL BOYS AREN’T BLUE.” I WILL SPARE YOU THE DETAILS BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE.
WHY IS IT ACADEMIC FREEDOM FOR GAY ACTIVISTS TO PUT THESE BOOKS IN SCHOOLS BUT CENSORSHIP FOR PARENTS TO DEMAND THEY BE REMOVED? THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS. THEY WANT TO CREATE ACCEPTANCE FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR AND A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WILL TOLERATE THAT BEHAVIOR AND MORE. THEY ALSO WISH TO UNDERMINE PARENTAL AUTHORITY. THE ATTITUDE SEEMS TO BE YOU HAVE THE KIDS AND WE WILL TAKE OVER FROM THERE. IF YOU ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO STAY IN THESE PUBLIC SCHOOLS YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL DESTRUCTION. GET THEM OUT WHATEVER THE COST. CHECKOUT SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAMS IN YOUR STATE IF COST IS A FACTOR. I’M CAL THOMAS.
