Should any books be banned from school libraries? Why is it important for students to read certain books in school?

As a capitalist, and a cynic, I say: “Bravo. Well played. You convinced people that you were a victim of ‘the other side,’ and got them to send you money as a result. Honestly, very well played.”

Parents who know why the book was banned: Why are you so adamant about trying to show these things to other people’s children?

That’s the big brouhaha over certain books lately. When people complain about some books being banned, they rarely mention why those books are being banned. For some books, it’s because they feature graphics of people engaging in sex. (You know… pornography.)

But, again, the focus should really be more on why some people seem to really, really want other people’s kids to be exposed to, especially graphically, adult material.

And, once news of its banning made it to social media, don’t you think that some people would buy copies of it, just for spite?

The book I’m talking about, by the way, has been in display right in the front of the “young adult” section at my local Barnes and Noble ever since it started being banned in schools a few years ago. It really is a genius marketing strategy for the book’s author and publisher. Had everyone just ignored the page with the illustration of one teen giving oral sex to another teen, this book would have been just another forgotten book in a sub-genre of books targeted to a specific group of people. By adding something that they knew would get it banned in schools, the author and publisher were able to gaslight a lot of people into suddenly caring about their book and, hopefully, buying more copies of it. They were able to convince people that buying the book was a part of the “culture war” and somehow “sticking it” to those evil red state book banners.

A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

At what point would you realize that by demanding that the book be banned, you just played your part in Tate’s marketing strategy? You did his promoting for him.

“Controversial” authors aren’t “controversial” for nothing. It’s often better for their bottom line.

Of course.

Can you explain the concept of an annulment of marriage in the Roman Catholic Church and its effects on a previous marriage?

Anyway, while pornography is the most obvious example of a book that shouldn’t be allowed in school libraries frequented by children, it’s not the only example. There are also books with graphic depictions of real crime scenes, books that promote racism or sexism or hatred in general, books that explain how to create weapons, etc…

I’m going to include a drawing of two teens engaging in oral sex in my “young adult” book, send it to schools, wait for them to ban it, then make a fuss on social media. People will buy extra copies of my book, just to spite the evil “book banners,” without questioning or caring why the book was banned. Brilliant!

And the people who made those books knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted their books to be banned in school libraries. Why? Because there’s no such thing as bad publicity. The echo chamber social media did their advertising for them, once their books were banned, and they laughed all the way to the bank.

What is your review of Hartley`s High School, Kolkata?

Suppose Andrew Tate wrote a book about “how to keep your woman in her place,” and sent a copy, free of charge, to ever public school in the country. Suppose, too, it was full of illustrations of “women being put in their place.” Would you demand that it be banned from your child’s school?

Person who is perfectly free to show their own child whatever book they want to: You are wrong for banning this book from the school library.

Pornography is the obvious example here. Rather than arguing about why porn should be banned in school libraries (I’m assuming here we’re talking about schools that cater to children, and not adult learners), the better question would be why some people think that porn should be made available to children.

Can I use the LEG PRESS to build muscle?

Also, “banning a book from a school library” is not the same as “banning a book.” No one is telling your children that they can’t read it. They’re just telling you that you need to provide it to your children, and let other parents make the same decision for their own kids.
