Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

OP is also a bigot who hates other people apparently so it's all the same. Racism is not ok, and I don't care if you are Jewish, you have no right to be a bigot
I'm not Jewish. Raised "Christian". And I am also okay with the Bible being banned in schools. In fact, I advocate for it
well I don't, and I don't care for bigotry from either side of the isle
So you agree that no books should be banned and are strongly opposed to banning queer books under the guise of protecting kids?
Then we all agree that the banned books should be unbanned?
Where was the bigotry? Because they said they were Jewish?
The Bible had tons of very inappropriate sexual material in it which is what the Moms for Liberty are trying to make sure does not get into schools. They should be advocating a ban.
No one is bringing race into this. The bible, under the context that Moms for Liberty advocated and lobbied for, should be banned if we are going by their reasoning for banning books.
