The groomers and pedophiles have been allowed to spool out more than enough rhetorical rope…
I started a research project last month, during which I suffered through the intolerable nonsense of a series of websites listing banned books in the United States. I won’t share the links because the internet age affords you tools to find them if you suddenly want a good laugh.
List in hand, I proceeded to search Amazon and Barnes & Noble online for the various “banned titles.” Every one of them was available on one or both, many for immediate electronic delivery or, if you like your grooming literature in hand so that it is easier to share with other people’s underage children, delivered, often the next day.
None of these books is banned, and while I’ve lovingly brushed a flirtatious hand across this subject’s thigh a time or two, it hasn’t properly accepted my advances and gone all the way. Put less misogynistically, we need people to take this message and beat the rhetorical crap out of anyone who calls.
While a three-minute public comment session may not be enough time, especially when the bewoke peddlers of the narrative lie – especially elected or appointed officials – are likely to cut you off or hijack your few precious minutes, you should still try.
Flood your local and regional news with op-eds. If these books are banned, how is it that I can get them instantly and begin grooming my own children immediately, which is illegal unless you are a public employee who ironically, can’t seem to teach even a majority of children to read at grade level.
You have to beat the drum louder and faster. These books are not banned, so why do you keep saying that?
Make them say what they mean because it changes the conversation. To borrow from a previous flirtation on the subject,
My electronic shelf space is different and not quite as diverse (yet). Still, given its unlimited size, it could hold anything, but physical shelf space by design limits the titles you can carry or keep, which brings me in my meandering way to a point. We all choose what to have on our bookshelves and what to keep when space is at a premium. From personal collections to universities and local public and school libraries, you can’t have every physical book or periodical in existence, and someone has to make choices.
Woke libraries and woke schools are, by their definition, the biggest book banners on the planet. Their shelves and electronic apps deprive “students” of access to hundreds of thousands of titles, many of them with actual value.
The question is not about banning but inclusion. You recall that word. It means we will include things that match our values, and if possible, little else. Which is exactly right. Every “collection,” be it the one in your home, at the local public library, the school up the road, or the University across town, is curated based on the interests and values of the people in charge of it.

You might ask, why then, did you displace some titles to make space for books about drugs, cutting, suicidal ideation, child sex with adults, child sex with other children, homosexual sex, or those that cause mental health issues by making kids question the bodies they are in?
Someone decided that animated pictures of a boy giving another boy a blowjob more accurately reflected their values in the shadow of all the taxpayer money provided for a child’s education. A shadow from which they accuse the child’s parents of book banning when that parent could, in seconds, acquire this “title” for their child and find themselves arrested, separated from their children, and on the sex offender list as a child sex predator.
There are no banned books, only choices, and taxpayers need to do a better job of replacing school boards, educators, and administrators who take up valuable shelf space you pay for with content that is not age-appropriate.
Start a local movement. Push back on the people calling you book banners. Make them speak the truth, and then open the conversation about priorities, and then ask the most important question of all. Can you prove there isn’t a direct connection to the introduction of these gender confusing books with the mental health stress you claim is increasingly prevalent in children?
