would include any discussion of homosexuality
Guess that bible is right out of those libraries
It is a slightly amusing irony that this necessarily includes any books that tell kids that homosexuality is evil and wrong.
I’m sure they’ll carve out an exception for those eventually.
Probably not in any way that wouldn't involve malicious compliance like putting them on a special bigotry display. They would have to write a law so long and with so many specificities that it would be virtually impossible. Maybe if they actually listed the "acceptable" books by name and said that they could not be mocked?
I was thinking something like Christofascist parents bringing a list of books to the Christofascist school boards that have been deemed sufficiently full of hate as to be individually approved to be in the classroom.
I dunno. I’m just so cynical on all this stuff these days that it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they found a way. Keeping my fingers crossed I’m wrong.
That wouldn't shock me since they're already presenting lists of books that should be banned, but putting a list of the names of all of the approved books into law would be so unprecedented in terms of a first amendment violation that I don't even think the SCOTUS we have now would be okay with it.
At least the version we know.
If someone actually reads and studies the bible they can come to the realization that god loves all equally, and all the hate is just from what parents and your congregation has taught you.
They might have a different bible (trump bible) or it may be already in the works that they plan on replacing it with.
Heck, they might have plans from banning any holy book that isn't their approved bible from everywhere, even people's homes if trump is ellected, sort of like how they did in the movie "v for vendetta".
