I sometimes listen to a religious radio station-at least until I start throwing up-and this AM the host turd had this to say. "God judges us because he LOVES US. Since he is holy and righteous he can't stand sin and HAS to judge us-and if that means HELL-so be it". Is it any wonder that we had fat donnie trump as a president and risk having him again?? Jesusfuckingchrist. Could someone please wake me up from this goddamned nightmare? Welcome to the Dark Ages.
If children are capable of working 40 hours a week at night in dangerous slaughterhouses, or become parents through rape, then reading LGBT themed media should not be a problem. You wanna make them grownups in certain ways but keep them infants in others. Perhaps the 12 yo girl who was raped by her uncle could have had a chance if she learned more about her body, what a positive and a negative relationship looks like, what boundaries are, and resources for protective services, through the books she reads, she could have had ways to avoid the consequences of her uncle’s crimes. But no, Sanders and Rapert want children to be completely defenseless from reality. Hiding rape away from children doesn’t protect them from getting raped.
Sander’s policies to roll back child labor laws are focused on poor and migrant workers’ children, and this is also targeting the same vulnerable communities. Keep ‘em go rant and they won’t have to tools to recognize your crimes against them.
All the states are more purple than we know, the GOP is aware of this and has taken advantage of every manipulation tactic known to man to gain power they didn’t earn.
Be they Christian or of any other delusion, the terminally religious always see their faith as the answer to every question. History doesn't begin to support that claim, so they respond by trying to change the history to what ever they think backstops their predetermined conclusions. They claim to be in the possession of absolute truth, and yet their only response to their critics is to try and silence them. Dangerous stupidity given social sanction by the privileged place religion has in our culture.
When librarians of the future shelve the biography of one Mr. Jason Rapert, it's going in the "Cautionary Tales" section. Not once in all of history have the people banning books and burning books ever been the good guys.
"We don’t know whether we’re little girls or little boys. That’s a lie" Yes, Jason you're lying. Maybe talk to these kids, they know their own gender, you just disagree and have the unmitigated gall to try to force your opinion on others when it is none of your fucking business.
"...]B]ringing together fellow theocrats to promote fictional histories about the supposed faith-based founding of our country and encourage them to file pro-Christian legislation in their respective states."
Gad! Free speech blowback in ARKANSAS! Even with Sarah Huck-a-buck Sanders in the front seat and this idiot Rapert trying to muck with public libraries. If there was any sign out there that religious privilege is at least beginning to lose traction in the US, there you are.
"the way for librarians to avoid punishment would likely be to remove those books from the reach of adults, too."
It would have worked so well with DM. Until I was around 15 she didn't need anyone to tell her what was appropriate for me. After, she found me old enough to make my own choices.
We ain't need no learnin. Readin leds to knownin and knownin leds to thinkin and thinkin leds to sinnin. we dont need none of that, here. Ain't no women folk need them libraries. They ain't need readin. Any recipe they ain't know now, they ain't gots to know. What's a man got use for readin? Is he gonna thow a book at them deer to get dinner? No. Libraries and them book ain't got no use.
I didn’t recognize Rapert’s name but I absolutely remember the 10 commandments fiasco. What a tool. Leave the librarians to do their work for they bring light unto the darkness (Kay-El 1:1)
Of course Rapert hates knowledge and cherishes ignorance. He's not only a rabid bible thumper, but a MAGAt who still calls Trump "President."
Worship both YHVH and Melon Muttonhead, Jason? Careful. That whole "no man can serve two masters" thing your alleged savior said (and I don't mean Trump).

Another fascist fuck who thinks books come from libraries.
Rapert tries to punish librarians, gets told to hush up. Librarians won't take shit from anyone who wants to interfere with the first amendment.
"...]B]ringing together fellow theocrats to promote fictional histories about the supposed faith-based founding of our country and encourage them to file pro-Christian legislation in their respective states."
In other words, Republican.
Jason Rapert gets the RationalWiki once-over.

Got to the end and was not at all surprised that the little cross-swinging puke can dish it out, but can't take it.
Gad! Free speech blowback in ARKANSAS! Even with Sarah Huck-a-buck Sanders in the front seat and this idiot Rapert trying to muck with public libraries. If there was any sign out there that religious privilege is at least beginning to lose traction in the US, there you are.
And it's refreshing as hell.

NACL makes me extra salty.
