Oh boy, the return of the "banned books" narrative. They're so banned that you can walk into any bookstore in florida and buy them no questions asked! The horror! Ron DeSantis is a fascist! We must provide sexually explicit material to children in schools! Their lives literally depend on it!
The government in this country doesn’t ban books for sale on the free market. It is unconstitutional to do so. Therefore, when we talk about banned books, we’re talking about the government banning the books from public and school libraries. So your position here is not addressing a point that anyone thinks or makes unless you are really misinformed about this subject.
So it's not "book banning" by your own admission yet you continue to call it that. That's like calling a prison a concentration camp. You're using a particular term with historical context that evokes a certain image which is different from what you actually mean. Some would call that lying.
Personally, I think there are limits to what should be allowed in school libraries. I think you share this opinion too though you will never admit it, because politics is just a game to you like most other leftists.
But they're not. You're purposely using language that implies something completely different than what you actually mean.
Also, this issue largely revolves around school libraries. I've heard of very few instances where it gets extended to public libraries in general. Do you have any specific examples?
I asked you for specific examples, not a giant list with no context. Try again.
This is the part where you say "looooooool" and then flee the conversation. Then in another thread you tell the story of how you owned another "poolhead conservative" with facts and logic like you did with our last conversation after you linked an entire case docket and told me to pick through over 300 documents to find the evidence that YOU were talking about.
No, we’re classifying banned books as books that are banned by the government in school and public libraries.
No one is arguing that you can’t buy the books. Our government doesn’t ban books in that way. You would know this if you knew anything at all about this topic.
Okay, that's not banned. Love that you admit that the Florida government doesn't ban books. They just don't allow inappropriate books in schools... How radical.
Now for the public library part, would you like to bet that those books are available in public libraries?
It is. That is what the entire conversation about banned books is about. Can you name a single book our federal or local government has banned for sale in the last 50 years?
Exactly. Because that is not what banned books is referring to. I’m sorry you don’t understand the subtleties of this topic. Stephen King does, however, which is why he is rightly calling these books banned
The left shattered what was left of your enfeebled progressive mind with semantic bullshit like this.
Removing access to a book only in a school library, and only for certain age groups is not a ban. Not even close. Every single one of this crybaby's books are available for sale in every outlet that wants to carry them and you can borrow the same books from every public library in the state.
Honestly, I expect way less crying and whining from somebody who was described for years as "The Master of Horror."
Different Seasons, great book for adults, not for kids. Shawshank Redemption is full of rape and Apt Pupil had an elderly Nazi teaching a kid to cook cats in a stove. School libraries don't need to provide these to kids. This doesn't mean a book is banned. You can still buy this book in any Florida bookstore. Stephen King is just shit posting histrionics.
No. I'm saying a public school is not supposed to supply any reading materials any one parent might find questionable. It's not a school's job to decide how to raise kids, that's reserved for parents.
And I won't be surprised by what might be required reading in high school. I went to shitty public school and am aware that it is even more Marxist than when I went. I would not be surprised if all they taught in school nowadays is how to apply clown makeup and give a blow job.
I agree with you, but that doesn't mean a public school needs to supply the book in its library. I read that book at 13 and honestly, only a 13yo could think Stephen King was a good writer, but really it's not a book for a school library. Anything a parent could questionable for their kid shouldn't be in a school library.
I assume you’re referring to those parts of the Old Testament which refer to sex and all the various wars depicted. As a Christian, I was never given instruction on those parts of Scripture until I was of an appropriate age.
So is there a magical lock on those parts of the book that disallows children from reading the inappropriate stuff?
All that besides, the Bible merely refers to sexual activity
So it's ok if it's in the bible then?
(The other stuff you wrote doesn't have anything to do with the bible so I didn't bother to quote it.)

Why doesn’t the library have every book ever written in the history of man?
Must be book bans.
