Supreme Court seems likely to let religious families opt out of LGBTQ storybooks - MSNBC Prime

[Rhiannon12866]

1. When will these people ever learn. Bans DON'T WORK.

The kids will become curious. The books will get read somewhere somehow.
Our principal banned Peyton Place back in 1957. Hardly any student knew the book but after he banned it from school everyone bought the paperback.

2. Good point. And when I was a kid in the '60s, I used to watch Peyton Place with my Dad

I still remember all the characters.

6. Good point! Or how about history? That's now become controversial since MAGA wants certain movements left out
