Be careful what you pluck off the shelf
A Biden-appointed judge has ordered the Elizabeth School District, Colorado, to bring back into the school libraries 19 books that had been removed because of sexual content, violence, etc., etc. (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/federal-judge-tramples-parental-rights-forces-explicit-books/)
“Activists” took the district to court, and won. Gotta put the dirty books back on the shelves.
Let’s ask this question again, for the umpteen thousandth time:
Why in the world do any parents sent their kids to public schools? I mean, you don’t have to! Maybe you like the teachers’ unions. Maybe you like them pushing sexual confusion on your children.
The news reporting on the subject is kind of vague, but at least Just The News included the judge’s whole decision.
Why subject your families to this? I can’t imagine my parents putting up with it. How about yours?
Our City Elders group successfully had the porn books removed from the children’s library, but the LBGT group that has all the money sued the Library Board and a leftist judge ruled in their favor. Now the library has to pay the legal expenses of the LGBT. Our Governor Sarah Sanders has issued an executive order that no porn books are allowed in public schools. Hopefully the public libraries will be next, except all the members on the State Library Board (who are all women) are all for the books being in the children’s section.
Well, we know about libraries, don’t we?
Is this Dave?
My parents? NEVER! In my day, not even the words would not be tolerated.
We had parents in our town who kept the schools honest and upright. But that all changed when the state government took over. They stopped listening to the parents. And it was even worse when the federal Dept. of Education was conjured out of the ether by Jimmy Carter.
I pray Donald Trump can shut it down.
In this case, it appears that the school officials want to do the right thing, but are being interfered with by external forces. This hurts to watch because Elizabeth, Colorado is a very familiar place and dear to my heart. I’ve been there many times, and it is geographically one of my favorite places on earth. It’s just westward of the of the Great Plains, near enough to the Rockies for my tastes, and only a few miles from the magnificent Bijou, a vast valley where the Plains start in earnest. Had I the wherewithal, that would be where I would build.
It’s a small town, and at least from the time I spent there (in the course of my work) it had small town values. From the article, it sounds as if those values persist, but “activists” are no friend of the will of the people. I hope that somehow the wishes of the community prevail.
