Illinois about to ban book banning

Politicians are idiots.

 

As a father to growing (now grown) sons, I didn’t worry too much about what they were reading as long as they WERE reading. One read long dead German philosophers and the other Calvin and Hobbes exclusively. Maybe I should have been a helicopter dad but it all worked out and they still read and it’s something we share with one another. “Hey, what are you reading?”

 

This is almost as crazy as book banning.
There can be legitimate discussions over whether a book is age appropriate.

 

“Red state politicians are malevolent idiots”

FIFY

 

Why are there only 2 extremes with our political parties? So stupid on both sides.

 

And playing politics continues...

 

Bet the kid who read Calvin and Hobbes turned out great. I named my cat Calvin and my Lab Hobbes for obvious reasons if you meet them

 

Meh. DeSantis will pass a ban on a ban on book banning.

 

Your move DeSantis, we need a ban on bans of book banning

Ah damn, someone beat me

 

One of my favorites from C&H. Seems more relevant now than ever

 

Did you read the reddit post about old Calvin saying goodbye to Hobbes?

Edit: I went ahead and made a thread for it in the Pub, quality writing.

 

Antidisestablishmentarianism

 

I just like using that word when the opportunity presents itself

 

Please stop. I have Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

 

Ya bastard! Brought a tear to my eye..

 

That was amazing. Thanks for posting it was over there.

 

Idiotic idea.

 

OMG. Gold. I'll have to practice that word

 

As somebody who opposes book bans, this is dumb. Just let librarians make the call; preempt any of the moronic "parental rights" laws that allow the dumbest, most racist parent to challenge books; and let people follow their interests/passions.
