We have seen that movie a couple times. Everything you say has been our experience. Along with the administration changing the traditional date of the school open houses. Then getting the state to make that day and time and the schools early voting sites. Talk about rigged elections. And the superintendent and the majority of the board were conservatives, Southern Baptist at that. They wanted that board to be from their church.
Better from a church than from woke morons who feel that it's OK to have LGBTQ or BLM garbage brought into the schools.
I read the excerpt from the book, “Lucky” and don’t think it’s pornographic as it depicts a violent rape that the author experienced. This book will likely get pulled though because an innocent man was accused, convicted and served time for a crime he did not commit.
Another book we discussed before does have those pictures and your argument was exactly the same.
The book, “Lucky” has been pulled by it’s publisher.
You don't get to deflect and bring up "Another book we discussed before " and I don't care what its name is. The book mentioned was recently pulled because the convicted rapist was exonerated 39 years later, not because of its content.
I would much rather go back into the Army than back to school. In Army I can lean something useful.
Not anymore you can't, the three stooges have completely screwed it up, Obiden, Miley and Austin with their whorpped woke ideology and forcing of the Fake Doctor fauci wuflu experimental gene therapy inoculations.
I read the A Court of Thorns and Roses. Yeah it's spicy. And yeah, we all read stuff like this when we were in middle and high school back in the 80s.
We also read Sydney Sheldon, Jackie Collins.... all very spicy.
I would guess most people would be surprised at what their kids are reading.
There is a huge trend now in the spicy books that is really heartening to see, and that's "explicit consent", whereas your previous books could tend towards very "rapey", now powerful female roles, explicit consent to sex, and men respecting and encouraging the "equal power" of their love interests has been very common and very much a part of books for awhile now.
This all reminds me of the music wars when I was a kid by the Gore's. We found it hilarious as kids, and in the long run.... all it did was increase the sales of "banned" and/or "labeled" music. The bands were literally TRYING to get all those warning labels on their music, as it all but guaranteed more sales.

In terms of Lucky it's also controversial because in November 2021, Anthony Broadwater was officially exonerated by a New York Supreme Court justice, who determined there had been serious issues with the original conviction.
Broadwater was convicted of rape and sodomy, and sentenced to eight to 25 years in prison.
Broadwater ultimately served 16 years in prison, maintaining his innocence throughout.
Broadwater, was incorrectly identified as the perpetrator by Sebold (and via a faulty method of hair analysis).
Scribner, the publisher of Lucky, released a statement following Broadwater’s exoneration that distribution of all formats of the book would cease while Sebold and the publisher determined how to revise the work.
Alice Sebold's most famous novel is 'The Lovely Bones', which was made in to the film of the same name.
As for the other two, books they just sound like nonsense and not the type of serious books you would study in relation to an English Literature course or exam.
Triangles has been criticised for being more soap opera than art, whilst Sarah J. Maas's work has been criticised for being little more than a poorly written and repetitive fantasy sex-romp.
The guy doesn't have to even read the contents out, as everyone now knows the injustice now associated with 'Lucky', and the wrongful conviction of a black man, so I would be surprised if the books remains on many BLM liberal type bookshelves.
Whilst in terms of the other two authors just read some of the reviews.
Sounds like she was raped but they blamed the wrong person. He was convicted because of the way it was investigated and not because the rape didn't happen.
I don't consider this to be pornography. The book does need to be updated. The real rapist got away with it.
Children do need to know about these dangers in life.
There is a more interesting story to this book. The man who the author identified as her attacker spent 40 years in prison before his conviction was overturned. She was raped but he was wrongfully accused and wrongfully convicted.
This book has recently been pulled by the publisher.
Yes, if the book is updated then it tells a story with all sorts of different angles and subject matters.
It's a true crime book, not porn. The events of the book created two victims: the rape victim and the man who was wrongly convicted. It's a tragedy. But to call it porn is wrong.
