Astroturfing aside, why should a book be banned because this woman allegedly developed a porn addiction? Some people become alcoholics after drinking. Should we ban alcohol (again)? I thought conservatives embraced personal responsibility. BS, on more than one level.
With Alcohol , the answer is yes. It IS a drug and literally destroys whole families, even those that don't drink.
Same with Sugar and sugar "substitutes", the obesity level in this Country didn't Triple by Snaccident. The garbage being allowed in the food ( children can't read labels) on our shelves is criminal, but as long as there's a drug company there to "counter act" the effects, it's all good.
Sorry for piling on, I understand the comment, but you hit a nerve, and ALL the above are facts.
Even if all of the above are facts, which I’m sure they are, on what basis have you concluded that alcohol should be banned? Have you read anything about Prohibition or the War on Drugs?
I bet there’s zero history of this battle with porn addiction & zero efforts to rehab from it (being that it’s all made up). IF she has an addiction, that book didn’t cause it.
Much of these right wing whacks have no experience or history with the issues they are suddenly so passionate about. As in no childhood education or development experience. No counseling or teaching backgrounds. Not even a history of studying abuse, its roots, its impact, etc. Why any parent would listen to them is beyond me!
What they have is ambition & grifting & a willingness to be used by other right wing whacks. They get to be a mouthpiece, a face, a faux advocate. It’s a schtick.
She’ll be running for board or office soon - watch...
As serious as the issue is, the descriptions of Brave Books titles had me howling. The Onion couldn’t have satirized these loons any better than they have themselves. Paws Off My Cannon. LOL
Was the villainous hyena laughing? Perhaps he was just being frisky to make things more fun? Of course, this is just conjecture since I grew up before grooming so I never learned about or had sex. Always wondered how those babies who look like me appeared in our house.
Porno is Moms For Threesomes Christian and Brigette Zeilger involved in a 3 year sex filled threeway with another woman. The founder of the Hate group dispising Gays and Lesbian is herself have sexual relations with ANOTHER WOMAN!!! The hypocrisy is thick!
I can’t believe what I just read was not a parody of a Popular Information article. It just kept going with more and more GQP nightmare fuel from Kevin Sorbo to Dana Loesch. How can this be real??? Well, it seems as though it is not. It is a PR stunt created by a company that is trying to destroy its only competition. And a lying little brat. Vulgar
And this is one of the reasons test scores in math, science, and reading continue to go down. School boards focused on this issue instead of supporting teachers and students and making sure they have all the resources they need.
Florida now has the 46th spot for SAT scores in the nation. Who knew that slamming your teachers and threatening them with Jail would have a disastrous effect on moral.
I would like this young woman to provide a citation to the Scholastic book and author she read at age 11 and now blames for her porn addiction. I have learned through experience these book banning groups generally manufacture their objectionable material (words, phrases and graphics used to shock at public meetings) and can seldom provide authors, book titles, or libraries where the allegedly offensive material was found. BTW, for the "right to parent" crowd, where were her parents when this pre-pubescent girl was given unrestricted access to search internet porn? They didn't even have "net nanny" software? Seems like if there is blame to be placed beyond the young woman, it rests with the negligent parents, at least when she was a minor.
Agree — and more cynically, this woman has a personal $$$ interest in booting Scholastic Book Fairs from Conroe ISD. Her company would waltz in to take their place and rake in the dough while dumbing down (aka “indoctrinating”) those little impressionable minds. Win-win from her RW position!
I also think it's worth mentioning that having sexual thoughts at that age is entirely normal. So not only is she lying, she's sexually shaming essentially all children
OMG! an innocent kiss (something we've all probably experienced) is what started this woman on her addiction to porn! Where do they even find these people? You'd think she'd have enough sense to be embarrassed by her story. It's just ludicrous!
How many of us wanted to kiss our crush at age 11? Raise your hand if you didn't. I'd be shocked if more than 1 in 1000 raises their hand. How many of us got a porn addiction after seeing a kiss anywhere (parents? other relatives? Disney channel? A cartoon in a BOOK???) I'd be shocked if more than 1 in 100,000 raises their hand.
Either this home-schooled young lady needs to get on meds to treat her schizophrenia or her parents should be investigated for conduct that allowed her access to porn.
Even many RepubliCons would find this laughable. Those who are ultra gullible are a tiny group of insignificance. Meanwhile, Biden accomplishments are staying out of the news due to focus on the obscure & insane.
If you develop a porn addiction after attending a Scholastic Book Fair, your problems run far deeper than a "single kiss" in a children's book. I hope this woman gets the psychiatric help she desperately needs.
Maybe the bible, with its gratuitous depictions of rape and sex, turned her to porn? Imagine the reaction if someone suggested that the bible be banned.
Just more good old-fashioned brainwashing that would best be countered with continuously provided good old-fashioned comedy (SNL, TV, Stand-up, etc), to broadcast this idiocy everywhere.
"Clifford, the Big Red Dog" was a perennial Scholastic Books favorite when I was a kid. Who knew it was the Second Coming of the Communist Manifesto? Will these people ever get a life?

If Hyenas are the problem, not the coconut cannon, then wouldn’t it also be true that Lanah Burkhardt is the problem, not the book? Just a question.
You picked up on that nuance too? Yeah, friend Lanah IS the problem in this instance. Now where the HELL is muh cocoNut gun?
Dang! In muh pocket all along. Lucky it didn't go off.
Exactly

Bingo. Had I been covering that meeting, I'd have asked her for documentation of her "illness" and its treatment, just for starters.
Nailed it, Tiff!
As serious as the issue is, the descriptions of Brave Books titles had me howling. The Onion couldn’t have satirized these loons any better than they have themselves. Paws Off My Cannon. LOL
_Paws Off My Cannon_ sounds like porno to me.
Wouldn't the porno version be "Hands On?"
I ask for friend.
Was the villainous hyena laughing? Perhaps he was just being frisky to make things more fun? Of course, this is just conjecture since I grew up before grooming so I never learned about or had sex. Always wondered how those babies who look like me appeared in our house.
I always thought y'all just "pooped" them babbies out. That ain't how it works?
Thanks BTAM for the LOL!

Alleged...not found guilty.

Totally agree.
Hey, is there no Paws off My Body story??
Stupid hateful weak-minded Christians wanting to push their beliefs onto others seem to be the actual groomers.
Groomers of intolerance, unnecessary judgement, compartmentalizing people, and hate, really. Very unchristian!
Projections are confessions of the Wacky Right!

I wonder if this person ever read the Bible? That would have also aided in her porn addiction ! 😂🤣🤬
You nailed it!
Maybe she should have canceled her subscription to Pornhub.com

She made this all up.
But of course. The RW Nut Squad have overly active imaginations. Pizza anyone? Or ping-pong?

Exactly. There are a few hard and fast rules to bear in mind when dealing with RW nutters.
1). Every accusation is a confession
2). Follow. The. Money!!!
3). See Rule 1

Yes!

And that the school board ate it up!
They're addicted too! And we're gonna have to ban that horrid WORD!
What word you may ask? Why the word "addiction." Just look at it. In the middle. That there is the BAD part!

Oooooooh. You said that nasty worrrrrrrd!
Must be some o them lefti-lib-commie-homo-drag queen-trans-athlete-vote stealing-non pussy grabbing-antifa-fascist-leftist-MfR's up in here!
Oh, what word you might ask? This one: "adDICted!"
You see tht nasty part NOW doncha?
I'm not going to tell what I imagined at age 5. But the images remain in my mind. I loved the grown-up ladies, even as a child.
Especially when go-go boots came into style!
Either this home-schooled young lady needs to get on meds to treat her schizophrenia or her parents should be investigated for conduct that allowed her access to porn.

And that's assuming that anything she claimed was actually true.
And if it's all bullshit, it's another sign that she is deeply troubled and crying out for attention.
Let's just file this under 'things that never happened '.
Coming to a theater near you: "Kiss Madness," written and produced by those same knowledgeable folks who gave us "Reefer Madness."
good one
Maybe the bible, with its gratuitous depictions of rape and sex, turned her to porn? Imagine the reaction if someone suggested that the bible be banned.
I already suggested that ! No banning of books until the bible is banned ! Crickets !!!
In a few places that request has been made--rather sardonically.
Just more good old-fashioned brainwashing that would best be countered with continuously provided good old-fashioned comedy (SNL, TV, Stand-up, etc), to broadcast this idiocy everywhere.
Good idea 👍 Just sayin
"Clifford, the Big Red Dog" was a perennial Scholastic Books favorite when I was a kid. Who knew it was the Second Coming of the Communist Manifesto? Will these people ever get a life?
LOL!
