  What happened to raising your own children and letting other people do the same?
context: I find it sad groups of people who have never stepped foot in a library, or read a book in decades are that upset about what kids read. >
  
  They get upset at anything that might contradict their attempts at indoctrinating the children. >
  
  Imagine if they were upset about their polluted air or drinking water. >
  
  Have any of these nitwits ever read an actual book? >
  
  The Bible, oh wait no they haven't read that either. >
  
  They go to "Bible study" groups, where they get tools what passages are important or meaningful, and then are told exactly how to interpret those passages. Don't want the masses thinking on their own, you know. >
  
  The question that needs to get put to these people over and over, and hold their feet to the fire over it is this:  Why do your parental “rights” to ban a book override the “rights” of parents who have no problem with said book?  Especially since the very simple option of “don’t check the book out” exists for both families. >
  
  Conservative parents see their kids as property, not a living human being. Because they think of their kid as physical property rather than a person with independent thinking skills, they will treat kids like they have absolutely zero say in anything because they're just objects. >
  
  Their children are their retirement plans >
  
  They really do not want any libraries at all. >
  
  They want libraries, but they want every story in them to be told from a far-right, Christian nationalist perspective. >
  
  Like madrassas in Afghanistan >
  
  Pretty much. They want to remove everything that doesn't conform to their beliefs. They want to get rid of education and replace it with indoctrination. They don't want the next generation to be free thinkers. They want them to parrot the bigoted, outdated opinions of their parents. They want to ensure that the next generation to come, Generation Alpha, is the most Republican generation yet to ensure they keep their hold on power for decades to come. >
  
  For Gen Alpha, is that "the most Republican" in terms of numbers or are we talking about extreme? >
  
  Both. They want to force their extremely bigoted and outdated worldviews on the next generation so that they will become the next generation of GOP voters to replace the current GOP voter base who are dying off in the masses. >
  
  What the difference between a generations percentage wise? Gen alpha is going to diversify once they strike out on their own. >
  
  These parents are more fearful of a book having the word nipple in it than they are of a gun murdering their child
  Edit: grammar, I guess I need to read more >
  
  People making teachers quit their jobs are now set on making librarians quit their jobs >
  
  Nov 14, 2021 New Hampshire Moms for Liberty chapter offers $500 to anyone who can catch teachers breaking a new 'discrimination' law aka don't teach about racism >
  
  Is there a directly opposing group to these douche-canoes that I can donate to?  Because this shit boils my blood. >
  
  One of their plans is taking over local school boards. You can look into your local school boards and vote for them, run for them, and tell everyone you know to do the same to keep them from gaining power in your community. Check twitter to see if theres any groups already organized by you doing this. If theres not, search for the closest cities to find ones so you can get an idea of what they’re doing/focusing on and can do similar where you are. >
  
  This is a coordinated plan by the far right to consistently and repeatedly attack public education in an attempt to create a less educated and more controllable populace. >
  
  “Moral panics often serve as cover for organized abandonment and violent attacks,” as Drabinksi continued. Moms for Libraries, like Moms for Liberty before it, uses the reality of disinvestment in public libraries as an opportunity to argue for the private control of libraries. No wonder they have attracted allies like Betsy DeVos, Trump’s secretary of education, who said in July at a Moms for Liberty national conference, “I personally think the Department of Education should not exist.” >
  
  What about the former head of the department of energy? 
  He demanded that this department should be abolished.  He thought that the DOE was an oil lobbying branch of the government.  Not realizing that the DOE uses to be called, "department of atomic energy".  It is responsible for every microgram of physical material in the US that means the Navy, the Air Force,   the army, and every commercial reactors borrow the warheads 
  or pile  from the DOE. And that is that department's main focus. Not burning fossil fuels.  Yet this POS lead that very department. >
  
  Are you referring to Rick Perry, the former governor of Texas? >
  
  Moms for Libraries, like Moms for Liberty before it, uses the reality of disinvestment in public libraries as an opportunity to argue for the private control of libraries. >
  
  People that don't like libraries are bad people, full stop. >
  
  Don't let those nazis ban books.  Fuck the Republican party.  We are at war with fascism. >
  
  Any organization that has "Moms" or "Mothers" in the title you can be sure is some right-wing pearl clutching group of uneducated entitled Karens out force their beliefs on others. >
  
  What about MADD >
  
  They are a little extreme as well. Bunch of prohibition zealots who try to get videogames banned for depicting alcohol use, encourage warrantless searches, and petition for increased taxes. Fuck em.
