The statement was the book tells children as young as 7 to cross dress. I have the book, I’d like to know what page.Apparently, it’s about a drag Queen and some parents might object to that per Amazon.
I’ve never read it so I really can’t give an opinion one way or the other.
I said the OP said that, I never said that. This is from the OP too: "One book is called "It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity." It's designed to teach children as young 4 about concepts of transgenderism, non-binary, cisgender, etc."The statement was the book tells children as young as 7 to cross dress.

Again, no comment since I never read it.The statement was the book tells children as young as 7 to cross dress. I have the book, I’d like to know what page.
Ding! Ding! Ding!I said the OP said that, I never said that. This is from the OP too: "One book is called "It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity." It's designed to teach children as young 4 about concepts of transgenderism, non-binary, cisgender, etc."
The opinions in the OP article about the books are clearly biased against anything LGBT and children. How can one truly have an opinion though, if they haven’t read them for themselves?I said the OP said that, I never said that.

It's from a Catholic perspective, which finds LGBT activity sinful. Yes, it's biased, but those who support LGBT propaganda are also biased.The opinions in the OP article about the books are clearly biased against anything LGBT and children.

Ok, but you’re quoting the OP and are upset about it. What part of the book are you referring to? Which part got you upset? I’ll link it:I said the OP said that, I never said that.
Super, but I was asking about the article you linked. What “very graphic” books are they objecting to? What content?This is from the OP too: "One book is called "It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity." It's designed to teach children as young 4 about concepts of transgenderism, non-binary, cisgender, etc."
Riley, she is quoting books that she hasnt read, and are only railing against because of somebody else told her to be upset about it. The one book, the one that “teaches kids as young as 7” to cross dress? It does not. It doesn’t even imply it. She’s upset about something that doesn’t exist.Ding! Ding! Ding!
It teaches transgenderism to children, which is wrong.
And yes, from a traditional Christian perspective, transgenderism is a serious sin that MUST be repented of before going to heaven.
No one is the victim here.
It IS an illness AND a sin (drunkenness). I would also say that "alternative sexual and gender people were also born with a proclivity to that attraction.Drug addiction is an 'illness'. I wouldn't be so hard on them.
I agreeNo one should be discriminated against. Nor should any sin be endorsed or celebrated.
I’m the worst of sinners, trust me.
There were names of books and when they tried to read them out loud to the school board, it was so graphic, that the school board forbid them to be read at the meeting. Yet, they were in the school library. I already said that I can't post or link them because of their XXX content.She is just parroting what other people say. She has no knowledge of these books, or even what the protests are. She’s upset because a website told her she should be. She is poorly informed, at best.
Show me where in the article you linked where it says that. Show me names of books. Show me that the school board said to stop reading because it was graphic.There were names of books and when they tried to read them out loud to the school board, it was so graphic, that the school board forbid them to be read at the meeting.

Post #316 and A mother in Dearborn, Mich., confronts the school board over libraries' inclusion of author Mike Curato's controversial book "Flamer."

It’s nowhere in that link you put up that I saw.
There is a link to another article in the first one linked about the school board meeting that discusses more about the book bans and a list of six books in question. Book bans spreading across Michigan: What's driving themShow me where in the article you linked where it says that. Show me names of books.

Post 316 says no such thing in the linked article.Post #316 and A mother in Dearborn, Mich., confronts the school board over libraries' inclusion of author Mike Curato's controversial book "Flamer."

That's why I said "AND". (It's easy to find this info on the internet, but won't post it here and get a ticket.)Post 316 says no such thing in the linked article.
Again, where in the article you linked, which you made all those claims about what was being said, was any of what you claimed?That's why I said "AND". (It's easy to find this info on the internet, but won't post it here and get a ticket.)
From another article:
Parents continued to read explicit passages, two per person, prompting a handful of books to be discontinued.
The school’s legal team is researching whether speakers stopped from reading books due to inappropriate language would need to be discontinued.
You're not reading my posts correctly.Again, where in the article you linked, which you made all those claims about what was being said, was any of what you claimed?
I have no opinion on these books, but per Amazon reviews it appears they are geared at children? I honestly don’t know.Riley, she is quoting books that she hasnt read, and are only railing against because of somebody else told her to be upset about it. The one book, the one that “teaches kids as young as 7” to cross dress? It does not. It doesn’t even imply it. She’s upset about something that doesn’t exist.
The other article? The one from 2022? The one she linked? It is about Muslim parents protesting the inclusion of books that have LGBT characters. They’re not protesting specific content and no specific books are mentioned, they don’t say there is “very graphic” content, only that heteronormative relationships should be the only thing in books in the library because that’s what they, as Muslims, feel is religiously appropriate.
She is just parroting what other people say. She has no knowledge of these books, or even what the protests are. She’s upset because a website told her she should be. She is poorly informed, at best.
