Oh, Thought Police? From the party of small government? Somebody call a paleontologist because this horse has been dead so long its a fucken fossil.
They want government to be so small it can be implanted in a uterus
As long as the government implantation acts like an IUD that might be a good thing.
They want small government in the same sense that small southern towns “self policed” and would lynch and run out “undesirables”. You know, like local sherrifs that would also put on white hoods.
Republicans want the LGBTQ community back in the closet and for us all to shut up.
Hope everyone votes these Republicans out before they make America Great Again.
Which is funny because this has amplified the issue and now lots of us CisHets are using inclusive language in support of our nonCis-nonHet homies.
Yes, exactly. I used to not care, but now that I know, I absolutely do.
I don’t have much to offer directly, but when I see that hateful anti-[whatever] shit in comments somewhere I shoot it down as precisely and sharply and derisively as I can, or offer a word of support to people trying to do the right thing even if it seems small to the doer, because NOTHING is small when it lives day and night at the dagger end of your own personal pain. Seeing that someone, anyone, even a total stranger in comments, has your back can, under the right circumstances, keep you alive another day.
And I desperately want these beautiful people to live one more day. All of them. LBGTQIA+ people are one of the few groups of people left that form their own families out of nothing, creating real communities when their own have failed, who seem to demonstrate the best of humanity amongst themselves more often than the rest of us, who suffer SO much for no goddamn good reason but end up being lovely people if they live through it.
I know they have their own issues and prejudices and problems with violence; I don’t want to sound like I think they live in some queer heaven because no one does. But there’s nothing wrong with them! Never was! There’s FAR more wrong with those of us who cannot accept basic human differences than there EVER was with anyone different, be that difference one of race or ability or gender or sexual attraction (or all the above and more), and thus I no longer leave the necessary words unsaid when I have them and some fool bigot pipes up in my presence.
I guess we might need to redefine the word “great” soon.
Double-plus good?
Back in the closet is just a compromise they’ll tolerate. They want LGBTQ people to not exist at all, and many are willing to kill to make that happen.
‘Course they do.
They’re getting lonely by themselves.
I bet the teacher has a good idea which nutbag parent called it in.
So they are charging the person with making a false police report, right?
Fascists
Nothing says Small Government like sending Police into a CHILD’S SCHOOL to search for a Book!
An ACLU attorney likened the search to being “the sort of thing you hear about in communist China and Russia.”
with all of the Mike Godwin in the news lately, this was a real missed opportunity for a Nazi Germany/Hitler comparison, especially since Godwin, himself, has recently given his approval of the comparisons.
Yeah, that is really disturbing. What was the cop going to do if he found it? Arrest the kid?
Arrest the teacher probably.
Just tell them the books are armed. They will never enter the school
So they’re obligated to check, hmm… so if someone were to, say, call them 10000 times about 10000 different locations…
Establishing Satanic clubs in schools seems to be a good way to bring positive change while quietly protesting.
Make sure to use VOIP and spoof your number to Mom’s For Liberty or something.
They are obliged to check… What now? Someone having a book they don’t like? Saudi Arabia is looking more progressive every day in comparison
Literally Fahrenheit 451.
Yeah, the right wing is shit. They have bad ideas on pretty much everything.
This is extremely not a thing that police should be dealing with. If someone really has “porn” at school it can be dealt with at school. Plus it’s not illegal for minors to possess porn. There are so many things wrong with this.
Also, it isn’t porn. It simply isn’t. It has sexual situations, but so do lots of other books that aren’t porn.
I didn’t intend to imply that it was porn.
Lol. America gotta America
