A great way to fight back against pornography in schools

DAVID STROM 

 

 

Parents and activists fighting the invasion of pornography into schools face a big problem: they run up against the usually-good American impulse to reject attempts to censor books.

 

Americans rightly have a kneejerk reaction against suppressing ideas (although, ironically, the same people pushing pornography in the schools are also pushing for censorship of ideas they don’t like!), and without direct evidence that something truly unacceptable is being provided to children, they are inclined to side with those who are more permissive when it comes to speech.

 

Generically we approve of free speech, and yet we all have edge cases where we understand that some things are inappropriate to be widely distributed. That is why the Supreme Court has carved out “obscene” speech exceptions, and things like child pornography are completely banned.

 

The pornography in schools debate isn’t even about censorship of books, but rather the curation policies of schools which of necessity pick and choose which books to purchase and distribute to children. And, as far as I know, nobody is trying to ban pornographic books aimed at children, but simply exclude sexually explicit books from the curated lists that schools recommend and provide to students as part of their education.

One of the most powerful tools activists have to fight back is to get people to see exactly what they are talking about. When the issue is generic, the inclination to provide as wide a range of options tends to win. When the issue becomes specific, people’s critical judgment kicks in.

 

Well, parents in Texas have found a way to make the choices very specific indeed. They have begun a campaign to force school administrators and policymakers to look directly at the books that they have been pushing into classrooms and school libraries.

 

We have to make people defend the specific thing they are actually promoting, not some made-up case that people will be inclined to side with them on.

 

Better yet would be forcing taxpayers to view what they are paying for, although it would have to be executed well. People will resent having porn shoved in their faces, so a packet with copious warnings, sent in a plain paper wrapper, and a calm letter explaining the problem would tend to work better than slapping people in the face. Those for whom the cruder message would work are already on our side. We need the more delicate suburban moms and dads to take a look.

 

But something has to be done to grab people’s attention. The MSM and the Left have seized the high ground by keeping the issue generic, about “censorship.” We need to get people to look at the specifics.

 

 

When confronted by specifics, people tend to see that the Lefty activists are insane. We will never convince the Lefties, but showing them defending the absurd will make a difference. (As with the video above, where Lefties defend librarians showing kids how to give blow jobs because they are “experts” who know what they are doing.)

 

Make people defend this specific thing, right here right now.

 

It is the only way to win.

Just because someone disagrees with your politics doesn’t make it hate speech…Tell me you’re smart enough to understand this simple concept..😉

Anyone interested in the State level librarian training programs?  Nevada appears to have a particularly grueling set of requirements.

It appears none of the States require a certified librarian to demonstration the ability to evaluate pornographic material to determine what is suitable for children under the ages of 6.  So the question a women poses on one of the film clips "are you a trained librarian"  is irrelevant.  Given this common sense might be given some consideration rather than leftist-babble and sloganeering.

Reminder Thread title is incorrect. The result of the O.P's bigotry.

 

 

 

 

Moms for Liberty may sue the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). By labeling Moms for Liberty as “extremist” and “antigovernment,” the SPLC “put a target on the back of every American parent, every American mom.” The Moms are pushing back.

 

The SPLC claims that Moms for Liberty’s primary goals are to “fuel right-wing hysteria and to make the world a less comfortable or safe place” for students who are “Black, LGBTQ or who come from LGBTQ families.” The group is hated by leftist organizations like the SPLC because it stands up for parental rights, demands school reform, pushes back on teachers unions, and opposes Covid-19 pandemic shutdowns and mandates. In other words, the organization refuses to succumb to the overreaches of authoritarian leftists in the lives of families.
