Georgia Senate passes bill banning American Library Association from state libraries
Apparently making material available to those who choose to seek it out is "shoving it down (the) throats" of people who wouldn't step foot in a fucking library if they were bitten by a snake and the antidote was inside.
This is what boggles me about this whole library fiasco. The ones clamoring for book bans likely haven't set foot near a library after flunking out of high school, much less can read or comprehend words bigger than those found in Dr Seuss books. Yet they're basing political might on what they've heard these books are about, and how it lines up with what their local pastors and "news" sources shove up their ass. Zero first hand knowledge of the actual literature, just fear mongering that some random author is turning their kids gay and indoctrinating people against good Christian values.
This whole defunding of education really is cyclical and beginning to bear it's ugly fruit.

I think I see why they do this even though they're stupid for doing so. It goes something like this:
"I don't read books. Liberals read books. When kids read books they turn into liberals. So the solution to hurting liberals and 'protecting' our children is to get rid of books"
There are dozens of ways this is shortsighted behavior of conservatives, but being shortsighted is very on-brand with conservatives anyway.
I think you've hit the nail on the head.

It's characteristic of today's right wing that they will follow their authority figures and would-be fascist dictators like sheep, while accusing everyone who disagrees or questions them of being mindless sheep.
the antivenom found in libraries is a woke socialist trap that will give you autism and aids and turn you into that guy waving giant pride flags with both hands while wearing nothing but a jock strap and a rainbow mohawk.
(alright, now I want a rainbow mohawk. I promise to wear more than just a jockstrap though, nobody wants to see that.)
I just want a regular mohawk. Stupid hair that's both curly and wavy.
IIRC from my highschool days. Elmers glue.
*this advice is not predicated on actual first hand knowledge. Just from some friends who liked liberty spikes.
That takes me back. A friend of mine back in high school came downtown with his head in a giant 2-foot spike straight up. I asked him how he did it and he replied, "Elmer's Glue."
But I don't know that I'd want to put it in my hair every day after I showered yesterday's off.
the good news is that Elmer's white glue (PVA) is pretty much as unoffensive as glue gets.
I wouldn't recommend gorilla glue..... but then I saw that video.....
Yeah, it's not damaging or anything. It would just be annoying to put it in my hair every day.
Elmers gel glue worked well.
These people only have one book (that most of them haven't even read start to finish) and it's enough for them - anything else is probably blasphemy, satanism and (worst of all) woke...
It's just so sad and scary that even tough we now have access to sum total of human knowledge at our fingertips, and yet people like these, who would drag us all back to middle ages, still exist, and if anything become stronger and stronger...
