Nothing like book banning to bring tears to my eyes and think back to the days when religions united against gay people, interracial marriage and sex before marriage.
Is there a list of the books to be banned?
There are no books being banned, you can still purchase them, and disperse them to as many children as you want.
In another view, educators ask: Which parents should win? Is a majoritarian education a quality education? Is parent-driven public education truly even majoritarian? Isn't the sad reality that school board politics is mainly activist politics, driven more by anger and reaction than by calm and thoughtful reflection? We train educators for a reason, they say. Let teachers teach.
Let them teach what, anything? At what point does teaching switch to indoctrination.
Be interesting to see the lesson plan and teaching aids for the books the parents are against. How about some 'calm and thoughtful reflection'. Any to offer?

Every school district has a list of books that are not allowed or part of their curriculum. Where I teach we have books that aren't allowed and there are parents who strongly advocate for more books. Some are reasonable others are not. It's a balancing act as to what reading material is age appropriate.
One of the books frequently targeted by Conservatives is called 'Gender Qu**r' (I do not know it that is one of the books in question, in this story.). 'Gender Qu**r' depicts two 14 year old boys giving and receiving oral sex, depicts a brother asking his sister if she has ever tasted her 'vagina slime', and depicts a woman m*sturb*ting her imaginary penis while driving her car.
Should 'Gender Qu**r' be allowed in school libraries?
I had no idea it was that bad. I thought these books just promoted their agenda, that book which is described is pure pornography. No way should that be anywhere near a school or any public library. It sounds like it should be in an old bookstore with an XXX sign above the door on the seedy side of town.
Good for the people of Dearborn Michigan that in spite of religious differences they can work together to get this type of filth out of the schools.
We don't care about being called ugly names any more. Just don't care. At all.
You will have to find another tactic to try to silence people.
I agree with you 100%. Who cares what the leftist crazies call us. It’s time to just stand our ground and push back their evil Marxist agenda wherever it is found, whether it be their social agenda or their economic agenda. Their vision of America will only bring is ruin.
In addition, the district has temporarily suspended access to the Library OverDrive (eBook) collection.
The seven books removed from circulation for review are “Push” by Sapphire, “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson, “And They Lived” by Steven Salvatore, “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold, “Eleanor & Park” by Rainbow Rowell, “Red, White and Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston and “This Book is Gay” by Juno Dawson.
I have Push, but I haven't read it yet.
I am somewhat surprised that such a religious community would get so involved in public schools. The usual solution is vote for less funding and put their kids in private schools.

Why would you be surprised that a religious community would get so involved in issues affecting their kids. It is what I would expect.
If you don't believe the religious community should be involved in public schools, then you would be also against their paying taxes to fund public schools, right?
Is this locale as much a hub for neo-nazi activity (& yes like most things in the globalist plantation system even zionism is another front for nordicism/neo-nazis) now as it was in the past?

"When you think of Ford, you think of baseball and apple pie," said Miriam Kleinman, a researcher with the Washington law firm of Cohen, Millstein and Hausfeld, who spent weeks examining records at the National Archives in an attempt to build a slave labor case against the Dearborn-based company. "You don't think of Hitler having a portrait of Henry Ford on his office wall in Munich."
A U.S. Army report by investigator Henry Schneider dated Sept. 5, 1945, accused the German branch of Ford of serving as "an arsenal of Nazism, at least for military vehicles" with the "consent" of the parent company in Dearborn.
Ford spokesman Spellich described the Schneider report as "a mischaracterization" of the activities of the American parent company and noted that Dearborn managers had frequently been kept in the dark by their German subordinates over events in Cologne.

This is not an accurate recounting of GenderQueer. I have read the graphic novel cover-to-cover, and while I agree that it is not appropriate for a high school library, I most vigorously reject your synopsis of the content.
