Do you have a link to it? I definitely would like to read about that. Especially since it was all created by 1 student.

So it’s just an idiot being an idiot, is there a story here? Edit: I didn’t see your most recent post before making mine, I’ll read the articles you linked.
So 60% of book challenges are made by only 11 people? And a substantial amount of the challenges are immediately denied? Hard for me to get real worked up over this. I’d imagine a fair amount of the books banned have content that probably isn’t appropriate for a school library, though no doubt some are banned that shouldn’t be / wouldn’t be if they weren’t LGBTQ related. Personally I think it’s probably a waste of time since most kids with access to the books have access to all of the pornography ever created at any time.
We can reach into the weeds and split every last hair with each documented book/district out there. I'd like to verify and judge the merits of each instance. But why would anyone object to the all the stuff that has actually been verified and documented as being pornographic material not being the appropriate place for a public school's library?
Also worth considering that a book in a library is not intended to be read by everybody. I didn't want to read Are you There God? It's Me Margaret and I didn't. Which has been banned now many places because a plot point is that a girl is concerned because her friends have had their periods before she has. Not pornographic.
You make it sound like we are talking about nudy magazines being banned. If it isn't intended to illicit erotic feelings, it isn't pornographic.
I mean just use your eyes and try to spin this as being somehow of utmost importance that we all rally behind the need for this book to be stocked in a children's school library. And this is merely a singular example. This book here called Gender Queer has been a thing for a few years now and has been "burned" (rightfully too imo) in certain school libraries. Sorry, but children who are truly desiring to sink their teeth into stuff like this needing to checkout Gender Queer at the city library instead of the elementary/middle school library is not exactly some moral failing that signals a new dawn of fascist book burning. SOME books simply not being appropriate for children is a thing. This just isn't the hill to die on.
There are lists of books most often banned and this wasn't in the top 50. It isn't an example of what I am talking about.
Trump said he wanted to run on the border and to kill the bipartisan deal. That's fact, not being gaslit. Musk also recently claimed people were being let across the border so they would vote in the election. Blatantly false.
biden blaming Trump, who hasn’t been in office and holds no office, with those numbers listed is the ironic part, which you obviously failed to see because you are more focused on where the tweet came from than how ridiculous it sounds and looks.
Trump said to blame him. He literally just said it. What is ridiculous is how you will carry water like this reflexively.
It is bonkers how the illegal immigrant population counts towards both apportioning Congressional seats to states in the House and for determining the number of votes each state has to give out in the Presidential Electoral College. Wild how non-US citizens get to have an impact in any way like this. God forbid the population of only actual US citizens are factored into the calculations of Congressional seats to be given to each state and how much each state's EC vote is worth. No wonder they screamed bloody freaking murder when Trump dared to try the novel concept of adding a box that asked about US citizenship status on the United States Census. Way too radical and common sense of an idea though I guess.
I don’t give a [uck fay] what Trump said. He’s not the reason we have a major [uck fay]ing problem. He literally holds no office. Has no job. Of course you want to blame somebody else. You always do.
The speaker of the house said he consulted with trump. Trump said he doesn't want it. You're delusional.
and you still can’t figure out the issue with Biden blaming Trump for a crises that he allowed to happen. How can you consider yourself smart when you fail to understand something so basic. I’m not delusional about it at all. I see [uck fay]ups and fingerpointing, which is status quo.
