The idiot king's answer to everything, censor all the ways your subjects might become more well informed than you

When I was in elementary school, the school sent a letter to my parents notifying them that I was taking inappropriate books out of the library. Books on anatomy, biology, and astronomy. The issue wasn't pornography, it was that the books weren't appropriate for a second-grader.

What bullshit. As far as I know libraries don't carry pornography. Short of that kids should be able to read whatever they can comprehend. They can get it on the internet anyway.

“Inappropriate” is one of those insidious words everyone thinks they know what it means in any given context, until they are arrested for reading Winnie the Pooh in China.
Growing up in little redneck towns with family who would not teach me anything and got angry if I even dared to ask questions about sexuality, I would sneak quick peeks at books in the library. Terrified the librarians would not let me check out books about sexuality, I would stand at the stacks and read standing up. It was an awful environment to grow up in. I knew nothing about STI's, LGBT, abuses of power, anatomy, etc. Growing up ignorant was awful. If I was caught reading a book with any sexual material in it, I was lectured and punished. Sad.

I read whatever I could get my hands on, even if I had to sneak them.

Posted by CliffordCookChristian Nationalists like to insist that the United States of America is a Christian nation. What do the facts show?
Posted by KilltheskyfairyI know where we can get some really big rocks…
Posted by CliffordCookIf the Christian Bible is such a great book, how come most Christians can’t bring themselves to read it all the way through even once?
Posted by CliffordCookIf Christians really believe in a god that is all powerful and will provide for all their needs, why do they keep on demanding taxpayer support for their struggling religious schools?
Posted by CliffordCookI groaned when I saw this Christian Nationalist Christmas meme posted by one of Donald Trump's supporters in Iowa. Then, I smiled when I saw how many of his Facebook friends had reposted it.
