I figured i’d get a BS answer on the books. If you can’t give a list of books banned from public libraries. Don’t say “ Theýre banning books” Any book you would like the read can be had teough Bucks County free library system.

Unless you've been living under a rock or are willfully contrary, you know that people are trying to censor books in the same way the Russian Communists and German Nazis did back in the good old days. I was primarily referring to parents removing books from school libraries. There are certainly jackasses trying to remove books from public libraries too.

As far as BS, you're pretty good at it yourself . Not all elected officials are crooks or scoundrels. The alternative is anarchy, in any case. Your blanket criticism of all elected officials is as BS as it gets.

[robert.]

Tell me the books removed from public libraries. My rock i live under had not had any removed. You have fallen into a trap set by the media. 465 books have been taken out of public school libraries. ALL THOSE BOOKS CAN BE VIEWED IN OUR FREE LIBRARY SYSTEM. They can also be viewed on students school issued laptops. The sky is not falling.

"courts by formerly being convicted in the press."

Like Stewart Rhoades, formally convicted by a jury? Like Donald Trump, found liable by a jury for his misogynist behavior and slander/libel? The horrible mainstream journalists who got Jan. 6 and Donald Trump wrong . You want juries. You're going to get juries for the sedition and insurrection of the MAGA crowd's worst elements.

No need to explain yourself Dr Dumberg. We’re used to you coming on here and making a complete *** of yourself. It’s become a favorite pastime of MTJ.

"You have fallen into a trap set by the media."

If you don't think there are people trying to suppress books and ideas they don't like, you are living under a rock. No one said the sky is falling, but there are forces that are antithetical to democracy, representative government, religious and cultural tolerance making loud noises and having some success in Republican led states.

Do you think 10,11,12,13,14,and 15 year old kids should view books showing BJs being preformed? That book wad removed from school libraries and can still be viewed in Bucks County Public Library system. I’t not banned or burnt.

[robert.]

LORD OF THE FLIES was removed also.

[robert.]

They are making noise and just that. Books can be had all over. Online , in stores and libraries

[Neil]

I don't pretend to know what middle school children should and should not be allowed to read. I figure professional educators have that well in hand. Most teachers are not exactly Vladimir Lenin or John Lennon .

Now that the fanatic religious right has lost the battle on same sex marriage, equal rights for the LGBT community, they've insanely gone after drag queens and gender dysphoria care. State of the art 1660 morals. Surprised they haven't considered official witch hunts like their Puritan predecessors. Get your Salem Was Right t-shirts over here.

Would you let your 11 year old child read a book about BJs? Would you let that child read a book about rape? A chapter that says “ he made me swallow his salty balls ad he pead on my face”. That is only one line from the chapter. Even the Author says ˇ iťs not for middle school” yet people say it is banned´

Neil would probably prefer to do a ‘hands on’ demonstration

The Democrats love this sort of stuff. Look at Anthony Weiner, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, John Edwards, Bill Gates just to mention a few.

JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH was removed from school libraries. Where is the outrage?

I dunno. Telling kids the parents were eaten by a rhinoceros, folks who took the hero in abused him, and giant insects invading New York? The horror!
