What fears drive conservatives every action?

Conservative groups across the US, often linked to deep-pocketed rightwing donors, are carrying out a campaign to ban books from school libraries, often focused on works that address race, LGBTQ issues or marginalized communities.

Literature has already been removed from schools in Texas, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. Librarians and teachers warn the trend is on the increase, as groups backed by wealthy Republican donors use centrally drawn up tactics and messaging to harangue school districts into removing certain texts.

In October, the Texas state representative Matt Krause sent

Groups purporting to be “grassroots” efforts have frequently led the charge, petitioning school boards or elected officials to remove certain books. Though some of these organizations present themselves as a local effort that sprang up around groups of parents united behind a cause, many of the groups involved in banning books are in fact linked, and backed by influential conservative donors.

are mounting an effort to prevent teaching on race in schools by launching a loud campaign against critical race theory, an academic discipline that examines the ways in which racism operates in US laws and society.

Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, said the number of attempts to ban books had soared through 2021.

“What’s unique is it appears to be an organized effort by a number of advocacy groups to activate members in local chapters to challenge books in school libraries and public libraries in the United States,” she said.

“We’ve noted that there are a number of groups like Moms for Liberty, Parents Defending Education, No Left Turn in Education that have particular views on what is appropriate for young people, and they’re trying to implement their agenda – particularly in schools, but also taking their concerns to public libraries as well.”

Caldwell-Stone said ALA received 156 book challenges – an attempt to remove or restrict one or more books – in 2020. In the last three months of 2021 alone, the organization saw 330 book challenges.

In most incidents there is a common format. According to the conservative groups, one parent of a child at school has spotted an allegedly unsuitable book, and has raised the alarm. But the movement is far from organic.

The name Moms for Liberty might suggest a homely, kitchen-table effort. In reality, Moms for Liberty is associated with other supposed grassroots groups backed by conservative donors, who appear to be driving the book-banning effort.

Here's some shit libtards wanna burn:
Noah Webster
(The father of public education in America)

He declared government was responsible to:
"Discipline our youth in early life in sound maxims of moral, political, and religious duties."
"Education is useless without the Bible."
"The Bible was America's basic text book in all fields."
"God's Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct."

"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed....No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

In 1832, Noah Webster published his History of the United States, in which he wrote:
"The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government.

"The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all of our civil constitutions and laws....All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.

"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty;

"If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes;

"Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded.

"If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."

"Corruption of morals is rapid enough in any country without a bounty from government. And...the Chief Magistrate of the United States should be the last man to accelerate its progress."

No room in libtarded America for THESE ideas! PWN3D!

Not hardly. The point is, both sides want certain books and ideas out of schools. Your hypocritical ass wants to present it as one sided. Typical.

BTW, I actually support bringing the Bible back into the classroom as the founders intended. The founders would see anyone promoting faggotry in the classroom executed as God intended.

.......................Read on - all many interesting.

So basically books teaching critical race theory, marxism and gay porn.

Because that's what those books are.

A book burning isnt a bunch of parents wanting pornographic material featuring sexual assault of minors out of school libraries, H. I'm sure you didnt look into this past this ironic propaganda piece you posted.

Its not really comparable to what happened at Berkly where books were actually burned because adults just didnt like the POV. This is just parents who dont want porn and communism fed to their kids. GTFO with thos gas lighty bullshit. Not wanting it in the fucking schools is not the same as "burning" books. It's about age appropriate material.

Here is some excerpts from 33 Blowfish(one the several books in school libraries that parents are understandably upset about)

So in true leftist form, Hollowbrain is butt hurt that ONE partisan side of politics doesnt get to make all the decisions that impact the lives of everyone and mad that parents do not want pornographic and vulgar material....material that even involves minor boys giving blow jobs to grown men....teaching children marxism and gender quee theory presented or available in SCHOOLS. They want THIS shit in libraries but will not allow any opposing views equal space....that's another problem with them. They want to groom children without allowing them to see alternative views.

And of course they use propaganda and gaslight when their PLEASE ASS BOX ME! shenanigans go public.

One can not help notice there have been no denials that conservatives love book burnings.

Except that this isnt a book burning. You are gaslighting.

Not wanting pornographic material in schools is not a book burning.

You fucking retard.

Do you ever check into what you are being told? Or do you enjoy being a useful idiot?

Schools can do whatever they want. Teach what they want. Have whatever material they want.

And they need to give up the tax funding and parents can keep that money and put it towards whatever other options they go with to educate their children.

This whole bullshit that hyper partisan psychopaths get to peddle porn to minors via school libraries and teach them politcal ideologies to groom them to be activists isnt acceptable. Let leftists fund it and brainwash and groom their own children.

Because FORCING this on the public and crying "book burning wah!" when tax paying parents want it out is unbelievably childish and more of the same authoritarian gaslighting.

I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal to give minors material that describes rape, gay sexual intercourse between minors and adults.

If your Church is going to tell my Childs school what books it can stock, it's time your church started paying taxes.

Let's see if HollowBrain can even provide a list of the books parents do not want in the school.

NOT burnt btw .....literally no one is burning books. They simply do not want these books in the schools being presented to their children.

The leftwads here have a problem with parents not wanting sexually explicit books being presented to their kids.....they probably have no idea what books they are or why.

They just bark when their establishment masters tell them to bark.

The point is,
The point is you failed to make the point because it was poorly crafted and completely fallacious.

No it wasn't.

Your stance is that parents have no right to oppose sexually explicit material being available to their children in school library and classroom and that they also cannot object to schools teaching them a preferred political ideology.

But YOU guys have that right to fight and get material removed from schools that violates your sides stupid beliefs. Right?

It wasnt a book burning when leftists did it and actually burnt books.

It's just a "book burning" when parents dont want porn in the school.

Your entire premise is bad and your source is propaganda. So... yeah.

Leftist ban books so hard you end up having to order them.

But yeah let's cry and bitch when parents want PORN taken out of the school library.

Huckleberry Finn was booted by the same people criticizing parents who dont want graphic sexual material in schools. Leftwads banned To Kill a Mocking Bird and a few Maya Angelou books.

But yes guys....parents who dont want pornographic crap and gender quee shit in the schools are bOoK bUrNiNg

No, I did make an excellent point. As usual, you libtards dismiss what you dont like.

They think using Russian buzzwords like "whataboutism" gets them off the hook of hypocrisy. It doesnt.

They love censorship and actual book burnings. When it aligns with their cause.

Just more evidence showing there cant be any toleration between normal people and sexually degenerated perverts.
