The woman who showed off Hunter Biden’s dick pics on the House floor is outraged that John Fetterman doesn’t like wearing suits.
“Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, exiting the Senate chamber while wearing athletic attire after a vote last year.”
“Senator Richard Burr departs the gallery after a vote, wearing flip flops and shorts on a Saturday in August 2022.”
Stop being silly. I only matters when a Demoncrat does it.
Add the woman who killed Roe v. Wade and thought Donald Trump learned his lesson and would be a good boy after his first impeachment to the list of Republicans being weird about Fetterman’s hoodie.
Oh. Right. Like collaborating with the criminals who tried to tear down the Capitol on January 6th 2021 is showing respect.
When all truth is lies, then all lies are truth.
It’s Arbeit macht frei all over again.
Here’s a list of some 300 books Florida has removed from school libraries. The bulk of them appear to be related to sexual issues, but some are obviously political, and some are just puzzling
James Balwin’s The Fire Next Time
Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments
Daniel Keyes’ Flowers for Algernon (??)
Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander
Ready Player One ? The Kite Runner?
If memory serves, Flowers for Algernon has an almost-rape scene. That might be why.
Ready Player One has a female who has a male online avatar, so they’re probably seeing something LGBTQ in that.
And I remember some disturbing scenes in The Kite Runner but don’t really want to go back and re-read to refresh my memory.
Must be in the novel (which I didn’t read). It’s not in the original short story.
I remember Charlie getting a real grown-up girlfriend and having sex during his genius time. I don’t remember any rapey stuff, though I haven’t read it in quite a while. I don’t think the sex was too explicit either.
Flowers for Algernon is on the American Library Association’s list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–1999 at number 43.[6] The reasons for the challenges vary, but usually center on those parts of the novel in which Charlie struggles to understand and express his sexual desires.[36][better source needed] Many of the challenges have proved unsuccessful, but the book has occasionally been removed from school libraries, including some in Pennsylvania and Texas.[37][better source needed]
In January 1970, the school board of Cranbrook, British Columbia, as well as Calgary, Alberta, removed the Flowers for Algernon novel from the local age 14–15 curriculum and the school library, after a parent complained that it was “filthy and immoral”. The president of the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation criticised the action. Flowers for Algernon was part of the British Columbia Department of Education list of approved books for grade nine and was recommended by the British Columbia Secondary Association of Teachers of English. A month later, the board reconsidered and returned the book to the library; they did not, however, lift its ban from the curriculum.[9][38]
That’s pretty weird to me. There were lots of copies of the paperback novel Flowers for Algernon in my Junior and Senior High Schools (It wasn’t long after the movie version, Charly, had been released). I’m not sure, but I suspect they were required reading for a class, not just a popular book.
Heck, my own junior high reading included the complete Odyssey, which has several sex scenes, a huge amount of very gory violence, and scenes of genital mutilation. Algernon couldn’t have been as explicit as that.
Clay and Martin counties are leading the regressive shitshow. Such bigoted, frightened and backward reviewers. SAD.
I just scanned but didn’t see the Bible removed anywhere?!
Nothing puzzling about this one. Florida is hoping to keep their utopian plan of becoming Gilead under wraps till it is too late. I think their plan is working.
Pretty sure there’s a scene of homosexual rape (of a ?teen)
I might be misremembering that part - I just seem to remember Charly getting way too aggressive at one point.
This article says that ready player one was removed for mention of drugs and prostitution and using the F-word. Also the petitioner complained that it included “victimhood=CRT” on page 320 (whatever that means).
It also includes a few other stupid picks. A story about a lion cub being raised by two men living together even though they it doesn’t say that they are romantically involved, and for some reason a book about pangolins with no reason given for its removal.
I always check these list for any of the works by Ayn Rand which are choc full of explicit rapey sex, but which for some reason never appear to be objected to. 
I heard from a friend’s cousin who said that a guy told her that Pangolins are woke. So that’s probably it
