The fact that they are even debating allowing sexually graphic books like these in public schools is just unbelievable. What has happened to this country?
The government wanted to control your kids...which started long ago. Unfortunately parents simply let the schools become the "babysitter." Now its too late to stop the madness. When voters chose to elect evil leaders. This is what you get. Slow undermining of American citizens. For God's sake. Stop the madness while you can. Start a movement to stop this.
Also that person who suggest an act of sexual abuse isn't erotic because it is abuse is full of pure nonsense. How confused would a kid be if they were aroused by that. This is extremely disturbing content for even HS in my opinion.
Yeah, he's good. His aww shucks old country boy stuff sorta hides his Vanderbilt, Oxford, Virginia Law education. As soon as his "victim" thinks he's just some ole country boy, he's already got'em. And, it' is fun to watch him work.
It's a shame he had to read that, but if he doesn't read it, the leftists will accuse parents of trying to ban To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, the Bible, etc.
No but like most books written at that time that shouldn’t be hold to the same standard of what is socially acceptable use the term negro to refer to black people. Funny thing is in many Latin base languages negro means black as the color
@@kirayoungblood using terminology from the era (which helps readers to actually contextualize the thought process and mindsets of the time which is a great teaching aid) is completely different than vulgar graphic depiction of a young man having “pain and pleasure” from being sexually assaulted.
Bless Senator Kennedy for putting it all out there! It breaks my heart that so many people have been asleep for so long that this type of thing has been flying under the radar. Having said that, people, specifically parents, are awake now, and I think it’s amazing that from now on these school boards just may be held accountable!!
The fact this is even a conversation is downright Terrifying. This is the wolf in sheep’s clothing- “that book is about sexual abuse- how else will they learn what it is?” And people are so dumb they cannot see that explaining and painting a picture of graphics sexual acts to children IS ABUSE.
In my country there is a national child reading week, and last year the author who was asked to write a special edition for that also wrote a short story "about abuse". It was about a boy and the coach of the football team. Instead of teaching kids to set limits when adults do things they do not want, the kid in the story was "turned on" and thought it was "exciting". It felt like I was reading a pedophile's fantasy. Disgusting.
I love that this was read out loud today and no microphone was shut off. Now can we allow the parents to read the pornographic words at school board meetings with out their mics not being cut off?! It's sad that our legislators are allowed to read this aloud but concerned parents are silenced and labeled domestic terrorists.
Agreed. Saw a pastor that had his mike shut off and he was evicted from the building. These monster school boards must be and will be stopped. They are all voted in individuals. Just remember that next time their term is up.
This is the filth they have been pushing onto children for years. Any person that has actively pushed this filth on children needs to be held accountable for.
@nooneofconsequence1251 The question was not answered imo. Those books should not be in school libraries where minors have access. For parents who want those books, they can go to the local public library or order them online. The passages read w/b considered soft porn..imo.
We shouldn’t be surprised, the Left for the most part has been given over to a reprobate mind, reference Romans 1 and see if it’s not like looking into a mirror to what we are seeing play out.
The young man attempted to justify the smut x rated content as a learning tool to teach about rape. Umm, from what I heard, none of it sounded forced or violent. Word salad to condone and as my late mother said years ago when this began to creep into many areas, “desensitizing children for their own future use and abuse.” Seems as though she may have been correct
@beckymocniak No one, I repeat No one, is pushing these book on your children...these books were written for youth/young adults at least 16 years of age (16 is the age of consent in majority of states by the way). You are being lied to by these politicians so that they can maintain their control over you.
John Kennedy is unique and respectable to all. I watch his effect on people who are unable to con him because his questions and demeanor are true of heart. It always gets the person in blatant truths... In my heart, he projects this question, "How can this frame of mind be true? How did love of family, Country and God disappear and with decisions you're making against "We the People?" What happened to all of you?
They're not talking about censorship, they're talking about age and location restrictions on what material is available to kids. What some kids may or may not have been exposed to is irrelevant. This is about parents having the power and agency to decide what their kids can or can't be exposed to. I do not let my kid watch certain movies, or play certain games. A 9 year old doesn't need to be reading 50 shades of gray, nor should they be reading erotica in school libraries, regardless of orientation or ideological identity .
This is sick and disgusting. I have always been against homeschooling because of the social aspects…however, if I had children, there’s no way in hell I would send them to these schools now. Soooo sad. I loved school and had always enjoyed it and had fun. Our country is in so much trouble. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😞😞😞
There are thousands of Homeschooled children, now adults who are SUCCESSFUL in their CAREERS and SOCIAL life. Don't buy into the "social awkwardness" bullshit. You can connect with other homeschooling parents.
My area has some private schools, Catholic, Mennonite and there's this Faith Fellowship church reachable from my hometown with a school. There's a price though. Faith Fellowship's school actually use an old public school building.
I pray for him to live long and prosper so he can put the common sense view out for everyone to compare with the diddly daddle that the pronoun people propose. When you hear the two side by side; common sense vs. diddle daddle...the libs should be ashamed of opening their mouths to spout their diddle daddle.
The predators in control of your government would...and do - and they won't stop, they must BE stopped- tough thing to do in a nation of mostly cowards
So a solution. If a parent has objections to passages in a book, then the school to keep the book must take it to the next set of meetings of every level of government in that county. From the school board to the city to the county government meetings. The passages in dispute must be read aloud in those sessions and the governing body, with a recorded vote, must approve that the book be kept. If it passes all the government meetings, it is kept. If it fails, then it is not kept.
Who would allow the book that says "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." That book is in all of the school libraries, and some schools have it as the main textbook for all classes, starting in preschool.
OMG!! I Would Never Want My 12 year Old Granddaughter to Read Anything Like This!!! This I Believe could cause Serious Mental Distress!!! Thank You Senator Kennedy!!! 🥰🇺🇸🥰🇺🇸🥰🇺🇸
Senator Kennedy, thanks for your diligent work. And, Ban these vulgar books, and anyone who can't decide on that, needs to get into another line of work.
His next move should be to ban that book that says "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." That book is in all of the school libraries, and some schools have it as the main textbook for all classes, starting in preschool! Republicans need to join together to get that most filthy and pornographic of books out of children's hands!
Absolutely. They should also ban that disgusting book that says: "And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father." - Genesis (19) : 33 - 36.
If you think that's a fair argument how many young minds have you sat down and explained in true porn language what they were talking about maybe thats your idea of a fair comparison but its not mine for shure
This level of description of a sexual act in a children's school library would be no less welcome if it were about heterosexual acts. Don't pretend that this has anything to do with "homophobia"
@@M-uj2tr But there are also such books, and they get even worse than what Sen. Kennedy read. Disclaimer: ANY books of this sort shouldn't be where kids are.
I was a public school teacher for 35 years. I got out in 2016 for this very reason. The young school teachers are eaten up with this crap. I would advise any parents to home-school or private school their children if possible, Just mention the Bible, and young teachers will lose their minds. This all comes from the instruction they receive in college. We have serious troubles with education today.
We need the older generation of teachers like yourself to stick up against this and bring it to light. Because as you said the younger teachers have been indoctrinated at college/university level and soon they will be indoctrinating children at high school and primary school level. Then within just a few years this will all be considered normal and nobody will remember how it was before. It’s insane.
looking at this isn't it that the state Governors and local governmental/non governmental bodies are fully onboard with making sure the funding is in place, that staff are upto speed, that shelves are stocked and support workers and advocates, lawyers, pressure groups, media and a few health experts including behavioural specialist are all ensuring this stuff ia readily available to encourage the separation of kids from families during their educational years. Billions must be being funnelled into these sexual identity family break down programs at both local and national level. this is not isolated at all but a concerted deliberate policy stemming from the academic to federal political party administration classes determined to demoralize the next generation to push for a future national mental health service program treating clients created by malicious politically motivated activists posing as teachers today?
I would have just as much a problem with you pushing the bible on my kids as i would if you were pushing "gender queer" on them... why cant educators leave their personal agendas at home and stop trying to indoctrinate our kids with their political and religious BS? they are there to learn math, history, SCIENCE, language, music, and art. I dont see **insert whatever specific religion you happen to subscribe to** anywhere on that list, nor do I see any room for the crap Mr. Kennedy was reading in this hearing. I can only imagine what you would say if someone tried to immerse your child into Islam or Hinduism or something. just put yourself in others shoes and understand that primary school is a place for political and religious neutrality, and learning fundamental information about our world.
Senator Kennedy is the first politician who I have heard speak who speaks straight and expects reasonable, straight-forward responses to his reasonable, straight-forward questions. Would that all politicians were like him; we might get a lot more done to help our country.
Just live your life right... The closer to God you become through choices and actions the brighter a beacon you will become to others. Hold tight. Stay Faithful... The light of our father can see you through the darkest of times and through you he will serve as a protector of your fellow man!!!
No. "Society" isn't horrible. The atheists who mock and bash Christ and Christians who would never and have never put up with this crap are horrible. Don't lay the blame for this crap on us. We told you that LGBT had an agenda, and you wouldn't listen. It was all, "we must be able to do x or y." Anything from injecting sex or sexual overtones into every corner of society to gay marriage. Society didn't corrupt itself.
Society is manipulated by governing body, corporations and media. Because of them, even normies agree to nuke Japan. But if you ask them is it okay to murder someone, normies won't agree. But us normies get manipulated all the time to think those nuked or attacked is doing something that a human won't do, and therefore they deserve for whatever's coming for them. Us normies need to stop getting manipulated easily!
That is insane. The fact that none of them can instantly and without thinking twice simply say "Under no circumstances should those books be in school libraries" is absolutely insane.
@@hanzohasashi4534There are multiple examples of them being in middle school libraries. As in accessible by kids as young as 10-11. You need to read beyond MSM.A
@@hanzohasashi4534You keep repeating the same comment without addressing the argument. These are not suitable for schools and parents shouldn't have to accept such pornography being available in school libraries.

Little kids and 16 hr olds can find this and worse on the internet. With pictures. And they all have access to the internet. Maybe parents should discuss these kinds of books and they can approve or not.
Thank God for these men putting everything out on the table so that all the main points can be discussed. Let us keep this filth and all forms of child porn away from our kids.
@justicewithers8902 Senator Kennedy and his fellow politicians are lying to you...these books are not being pushed on your kids. They aren't written to or for kids...they are written for youth/young adults at least 16 years of age (the age of consent in most states). It's also not "child porn". Time to get back to reality.
Now they are going to hear the words, not because of the book, but because they sneaked to watch this video and the parents weren't paying any attention.
@@AlexDrums482 "They" are the democratic politicians and school board officials that want parents to keep their nose out of what content their children are reading in school (or what books they have access to in the library). If you're not well studied in history, you should be aware that it is only authoritarian dictatorships who insist that the state have more decision-making power over children than the parents do. It's that simple. The US government is taking the freedoms of the population away one step at a time and they're doing it under the guise of "compassion". That's exactly how it's done. "We're doing this for people's safety and well being". That's how Hitler did it and how Stalin did it. How many times are populations going to fall for this shit until some educated people come along and "no, fuck off"? Whatever populations usher this bullshit in, should be given a Darwin Award. I say Darwin Award because we know full well that authoritarian regimes often bump off millions because the power goes to their head. The irony in this is that the people ushering this bullshit in actually see themselves as the "educated and enlightened group" and the group that is "morally superior". They see themselves as enlightened but are totally ignorant about how dictators controlled and brainwashed populations throughout history.
not sure what video you were watching. The way he asks the questions and starts barreling over those guys leave no room for discussion. He asked what their solution was, and the guy said committee. And then he asked what the solution was again. They are offering a solution, committee. Librarian plus teachers. Committee, makes perfect sense, now they do it in Illinois. good talk. Important talk. But Republicans have no interest in ever coming to any kinds of answers, So he pretends like he doesn't hear him. Or maybe he doesn't
It turned my stomach and made me want to throw up! I have never in my entire life heard such filth! Very disturbing. No decency with those supporting this filth in schools.
Next he needs to go after that book that says "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." That book is in all of the school libraries, and some schools have it as the main textbook for all classes, starting in preschool. Now that is some major filth that needs to be kept from all children! And adults, too!
Utmost respect for Sen Kennedy to go above & beyond cringe on the house floor. He's bold, brave & courageous & shows how deep his concern goes to preserve childhood innocence. Love this man!!!!
Thank you Senator Kennedy. A parent gets up at a school board meeting and is censored if they try to read from these books. The board’s sensitive ears can’t bear to listen but they feel it’s ok for a child to check out the book.
EXACTLY…ohh but the limp wrist states …it’s about s*xual abuse…yea, right, whatever…the graphic description is pornographic …sly way to enter into the eyes of a child’s soul and learn all about qu**rdom …it’s INFLUENCING
Thank you Senetor Kennedy, these people are just evil and insane. That was absolutely horrible. The fact that they couldn't answer the question and we are having a debate about such filth, shows us they don't have children's best interests at heart 🤬🤬🤬
@@LizaFan And? What's your point? Books like these still don't belong in school libraries, and moreover the parents of the children are the ones who are supposed to decide what is appropriate for their children to read. This shouldn't even be up for debate, and the fact that there are people who are actively fighting to be able to make these books available to children, and to take away the parents' right to decide what is appropriate for their own children (amongst other things) shows that this is really all about adults who want to be able to groom and indoctrinate children with homo erotic material, without interruption or interference from their parents. Anyone who can't see that is either unbelievably naive, or a pedophile themselves.
He doesn't even mention that book that says "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." That book is in all of the school libraries, and some schools have it as the main textbook for all classes, starting in preschool. Now that is some major filth.
That two pervert's, and that is what they are if they think those books are fit for young children to view , they should be charged and jailed for submitting porn to children
Lol especially that guy with the girl voice. He was like, oh this is just a book that teaches about abuse and that's important for kids to learn about... Dude... what are you saying? The only way to learn about abuse is to make it as explicit as possible?
@@DrSwazz What are you saying? I'm saying if they been abused, it's good for them to learn about it, like how to handle it and get over it and move on and not to let it take over your life. And also it's good for other people to learn about it so they don't make a joke of it or bully the abuse victims
@@marioluigi9599 Our parents told us to avoid strangers and to tell them straight away if any adult tried to 'touch us'. We didn't have to read books with this kind of appalling graphic detail to learn that.
How pathetic that any of our politicians could even attempt to defend keeping this sort of text in schools. Young man..... kids in fact CAN and DO learn what is inappropriate without reading this garbage and it is by having parents teach them good morals!!
Think less on terms of "Politicians" & more, men & women who seek power to carry out an agenda on behalf of themselves & their masters, but never for the people
There are 2 bits of advise I give to parents...never get them vaccinated and never send them to public schools, although now even many private schools are involved in this same moral corruption
Of any children read this kind of graphic book, they will be ill equipped to understand it and will not keep it ro themselves. I chose to let my children be children, I don't want their mind filled with filth and I don't want them gearing it from some other kid who's dumass parents let them read this.
While I don't think a school library should have these kinds of things... you're pretty delusional if you don't think that these kids haven't seen or done worse. Just about any 10 year old these days with access to the internet on their mobile phone will have looked up hardcore porn, both boys and girls. And there's really no shortage of young girls exposing themselves on the internet to strangers. They're at the age where they want attention and with an abundance of grown men on the internet calling them pretty and cute, many of them will do things that will gain them more attention. Having books like this in a school library really isn't all that an issue hen you consider these other facts. Banning them isn't going to solve anything. Teachers will still try to indoctrinate children with their woke morals. Children will still look up porn since they have access to it. And some of them will end up actually creating porn because it's easy to get attention and compliments through the internet. For every girl who ends up having her nude photos shared on school there's at least 9 others who won't get discovered but have shared nude pics & vids (and potentially worse).

I'm glad I saw this after dinner because these people make me physically sick. If a librarian let those books through the front door of a school's library, they should be fired immediately. He/she doesn't need to consult anyone to understand that language is inappropriate for MOST people, much less children.
As a parent i decided what movies my kids were allowed to watch, whose homes they were allowed to visit, what books they read, what foods and snacks they ate. I completely understand that there were times, when they were exposed to things, in my absence, that I would have NOT allowed them to be exposed to, but not usually from our education system. ALL books in the school library should be overseen by the parents and only the parents. Every parent should be able to read the books and vote. The majority of parents would agree that this filth should be banned. The decision cannot be left up to some random librarian, that is pushing their own agenda. That's called indoctrination.
Unfortunately I have seen school board meetings where parents actually wanted these available for their children. If they want that then they should buy them themselves and provide it... and then be prosecuted for child abuse.
How many parents do you know that would/could take the time to read a book? Most parents are too busy working trying to provide the necessities for their family.
As a parent I’ll do more than challenge if you read my child that book. I’ll challenge a lot more than books. Sounds like our schools are being run by child predators
@@_munkykok_These books were not in school libraries before the 80's when I graduated. I didn't hear about them being in the libraries before 2006 when my youngest graduated. These scumbags have not always been running things. As parents and grandparents we have failed the children of today.
Might be interesting to post what the Senator read and see how face book responses. What could be wrong with posting quotes from a book a child is reading in school?
What planet indeed. It's incredible to watch these people avoid the simplest of questions by going off an tangents or just sprouting waffle. They know that as soon as they admit parents should have the final say, their entire argument falls in a screaming heap.
I want to know why they cant hear that book and want to throw up that a kid would read this. The second person in this clip literally attributes it to sexual abuse! Like why would a child even have to know what that is.
I don't know about anyone else, but I was shocked. And of course parents as the natural gaurdians of children should get to say what their children read. And anyone who advocates taking that away from parents is insane.
This is a very sick society that we are living in. Some of these people have a depraved mind, and the only thing that would change that would come from a supernatural entity.
@@danmarty6765 I think for bringing it to public awareness.... In Ireland the government decided to buy all books for school kids, so parents don't get to see these books
This guy actually said “ letting parents decide what material should be available to their children is a slippery slope “ 🤔 as if the alternative that he is proposing has less of a slippery slope smh the audacity of these people.
He said that letting “one person” decide for everyone is a slippery slope. That’s what leads to the “let’s not offend anyone” mindset that results in anything controversial being banned. I’m not saying that is my position, just that that was the argument he was making.
This is absolutely unacceptable that the subject is even being raised in a senate hearing. Books such as those that Senator Kennedy referenced have no place in school. NONE!
Biology teaches us that any trait that ends in extinction is a negative trait. Science, not politics, sociology, etc. I have no issue with consenting adults in private doing what they want sexually. I do have a problem when proselytizing to elementary school students, an agenda that biology proves to be a disease. Ironic how god is not allowed to be brought into a public school, but graphic descriptions of anal sex are. We are doomed.
This is pure evil having these perversions in our society. Making available this filth to any child is absolutely evil. Thank you, Senator, for trying to hold them accountable.
There’s a reason they don’t want to give simple answers to simple questions and until these committees start issuing contempt of congress charges we won’t see it change.
Yeah but these aint school books, you have to actually go out of your way to actually get the book. Which is better than out right banning the book and encouraging people to read it.
There is nothing going on. This guy is making people believe children have access to these books. Children do not. Listen to his wording. Too many people get misguided by these idiots words.
I'm a 67 yr old Grandmother and I was mortified with what Mr Kennedy read from those books. Kids wouldn't need their parents permission to get those from the school library or public library. Makes me physically ill knowing my grandchildren would have access this kind of pornographic filth. TY Mr Kennedy for standing up for our children's innocence. God save us all!
This is not literature, it's pedophilia. Not only should they never be in a public or school library, the publishers, the authors, the librarians, every single mentally disturbed bureaucrat along the way should be locked up for life that pushes this on our children. How long are we going to put up with this??? WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR CHILDREN???

Some of the most wonderful emotional experiences on earth are exploring the new world of having a loved one. These books would take that away from children. Innocence is a precious treasure
There are ratings on movies so parents can get an idea of whether the movie is suitable or not. But parents aren't in school with their children to help screen these books beforehand and I'm pretty sure no parent expects an X-rated book would be an option in a school library! This is disgusting!
I remember not being allowed to rent Jurassic Park as it was pg 12 and I was 11. But kids can take out this explicit content. Kids will read these books and try it out thinking it's ok for their age. Protecting kids innocence is so important. 😮
A child could read this book in the library and never even bring it home and a parent would never know! This is wicked!! So sad that our country has elevated personal freedom over the good of all especially our children!
I was a school librarian for 22 years in a small, conservative rural town. The books Sen. Kennedy read excerpts from would be (and should be) considered pornographic. Children do not need to be subjected to books about sexual intercourse or any type of sexual activities. The morals of our society have decayed to the point that anything and everything is appropriate. This is wrong on so many levels.
I am guessing, that if you opened a box of books destined for the shelves and such a book was in the box it would have turned up missing. When he asks whether the librarians get to decide or the parents, it is sad that apparently the librarians don't seem to have morals or the desire to back up the parents.
That’s why Jesus Christ is going to unleash His full vengeance upon this vile world, because of what they’re doing to children. He’s going to take the children to an eternal kingdom, and rain fire down on the wicked, and nobody is going to stop Him, any more than the people of Noah’s day stopped the fIood. There’s a reason why every single culture has a story of a world wide flood that only a few people and animals survived in a boat, because the biblical flood is a true part of history, and the reason God did that is because of the same eviI things people back then were doing, which is being repeated by eviI people today. The only difference is that God said the next time He destroys the world, it’s going to be by fire, and not water. Even so, come LORD Jesus!
We don't have them in our schools where I live in Indiana either. People would flip tf out if something like that made it's way into our schools. Our kids are so far behind failing in these schools but they want to teach sexual ideology and it's disgusting. You couldn't give that book to a kid on the street or you would be arrested for sexually exploiting a child! Teachers handing these out should be sued, the schools sued.
If they are speaking about books like this in the libraries in schools, then they should remove them. That is disgusting! The public library reading materials : parents should be the gatekeepers. Parents need to be responsible for their children. Children need taught about respect for and towards others, respect for the law, stealing is bad for everyone, good work ethics, and helping others.All our fundamental behaviors have been eroded away.
I agree with your comment. And I blame the academics. When liberals/progressives/communists and marxists (Obama is one) took over all of academia (and it's now creeping in some private schools), education of our children has turned into "a little education" and a LOT of indoctrination and telling parents "we own your children, you do not have the right to own your own children". THAT is communism/marxism. Period. Our Country is in trouble.
Not to mention the fact these schools are failing to teach basic STEM subjects, kids are failing, but they want to take time out for sexual ideology instead of teaching what they need.. it's insidious and horrific and if allowed to continue, that generation will be a mess, society will be a mess.
blah blah. Parents have been saying this for years and years now. These Marxists are just ignoring. l wonder if you have anything else to say or DO other than repeating the same old lines

Last year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around with girls that, deep down, gave me a pain in the ass. I broke it, though, the same week I made it - the same night, as a matter of fact." That's from "Catcher in the Rye." A book that has been routinely taught in high schools for the last 50 years. That's not even the worst quote, it's just one I could find easily. There is also extensive discussion of homosexuality in the book. I have no problem with books like this being banned from elementary school libraries (which they generally aren't at anyway). But it's ridiculous to think a high schooler can't handle this stuff.

Never mind - it's a rhetoric question because if you have, you might've noticed that this is a deep and timeless American classic with value well beyond of what you can see... In the meantime, you have not answered MY question: are the books kennedy was quoting in school libraries?
Incredibly disturbing. Our political/administrative leaders, for the most part, should be fired en masse. Need to hit the reset button on the entire system.
As a Louisiana resident, I love watching Senator Kennedy exposing this filth. As a former educator, I'm disgusted that any school system, administrator, or educator would allow something like this, on school grounds. As a parent, I'd be pissed, if books like this were being allowed or encouraged by my kids' teachers...
This is of course all important but the greater problem is the accessibility of filth on the internet for those same kids. The people behind it all are the same ones running your media and Hollywood
OMG. How do schools justify 'teaching' morality? Children who experience this suffer later in life. We see too many criminals who say that childhood violation is what gets them in trouble.
"Teaching morality?" Are you saying that no book is out of bounds so that kids can be self taught on matters of morality???? What logic are you going for here?
There is no more noble a fight than for our children. God bless you Senator Kennedy for fighting for our children. Who on earth could support this filth?
I guess you don't realize how INFURIATING this is to us "normal" folks! And Forbes apparently KNOWS this, which is why they normally turn off the comment section on their videos dealing with the "transgender" issues.
It's because fools only see it as an issue of "oppressed vs oppressor" and any accusations against any singular member or aspect related to the "oppressed" group is an all encompassing attack against the entire group. The reality is much more complex and every single group large enough has it's bad apples. Abuse of people, slavery, starvation, genocide, etc... Every "good" group has it's monsters and every "bad" group has it's paragons.
I went to school a long time ago. We had similarly “graphic” books in my middle school. It’s absolutely ridiculous how these old folks have deluded themselves into thinking their schools never had anything like this.
Do you think a 17 year old should not be allowed to read books that reference sexual abuse? Obviously there is a line that needs to be drawn and children range drastically in their maturity depending on their age. But the senator was very disingenuine here, he wasn't really looking for answers to his questions.
In all my years of schooling, we never found books in the library or any classroom with that type of curriculum as ready by Kennedy. Should sexual abuse be taught in school? Well, it all depends on how you teach it. A book in a library should only serve a purpose if the parent is reading it with their child, explaining what's going on. A lot of these politicians are rapists themselves, so at the very least, they should want some teaching about sexual abuse in schools since that are all parents themselves. Home teaching is not available to most Americans.
I love how he tries to take a dig at Kennedy by saying it was disturbing that he read it. He’s trying to clap back at someone for calling them out for pushing sexually explicit reading material. 💀 Not the effect he intended and only exposed himself. 😂
It struck me that if he thinks it's disturbing to hear those words come out of Kennedy's mouth..... how disturbing would it be to hear those same words come out of an 8-years old mouth as he reads aloud? This is shameful beyond words.
If a parent approved this, they do not deserve kids. And these people definitely deserve prison. There is no decision that needs to be made. I’m so happy to see him pushing these pedophiles down.
It is absolute madness and social indoctrination of young minds and hearts jaded by the profane antics of liberal agendas disrupting the sanctity of children. This is so Offensive to all people and in fact, goes way beyond the scope of so professed, a teaching of abusive behavior. The obvious over-the-top use of a “teaching outline” is so pornographic that it totally distorts their very own claim. It IS a targeted abusive approach to teaching young readers and triggering beyond the scopes of their life experience in understanding the limitations of teachings appropriate to a child’s age and condition within acceptable boundaries of their lives. This trash better stop. Only a parent should have the awareness and full disclosure from the schools who even offer such materials to children. This is truly sickening and in fact, a coordinated effort to disrupt the appropriate applications in learning materials for young / innocent minds, bodies and hearts.
