NEWS FROM THE MOMS FOR LIBERTY OUTHOUSE - SH*TTER'S FULL

NEWS FROM THE MOMS FOR LIBERTY OUTHOUSE - SH*TTER'S FULL

Attention all parents! Are you tired of your kids learning about things like gender identity and sexual orientation in school? Do you want to shield them from anything that goes against your narrow-minded views? Well, have no fear, Moms for Liberty is here!

This group of conservative parents in Florida has taken it upon themselves to police what other people's kids read in their school yearbooks. They recently lost their shit over a two-page spread in Lyman High School's yearbook that celebrated LGBTQ+ students and their identities. The section was titled "We're Here, We're Queer" and included stories and experiences of LGBTQ+ students and staff, along with explanations of common terms related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

But Moms for Liberty wasn't having any of it. They demanded that the yearbook be recalled or censored, claiming that it exposed their precious children to "pornographic" and "inappropriate" content. Because apparently, learning about different identities and experiences is equivalent to watching porn.

One of the ringleaders of the outrage was Jessica Tillmann, the chair of the Seminole County chapter of Moms for Liberty. She filed a complaint with the school district, arguing that the yearbook violated a state law that bans "pornographic or indecent" books from schools. Tillmann also accused the yearbook staff of "sexualizing" minors and promoting a "gender ideology" that goes against her religious beliefs.

But let's be real here, folks. The only thing being sexualized is Moms for Liberty's obsession with controlling what other people's kids learn. They want the yearbook to only focus on academic achievements and sports, because apparently, LGBTQ+ students don't achieve anything or participate in sports.

The school district caved in to Moms for Liberty's demands and offered refunds or exchanges for anyone who was unhappy with the yearbook. But Danielle Pomeranz, the faculty adviser of the yearbook staff, wasn't having it. She said that the district was giving in to bigotry and censorship, and that it was undermining the hard work and creativity of her students.

Pomeranz pointed out that the LGBTQ+ section was approved by the school principal and based on reputable sources such as GLAAD and The Trevor Project. She said that the section was not about sex at all, but about identity and acceptance. And isn't that something we should all be striving for?

Moms for Liberty may claim to be defending parental rights, but they're really just defending their own narrow-minded views. They're against mask mandates, critical race theory, vaccine passports, and climate change education. In other words, they're against anything that challenges their worldview.

But here's the thing, folks. We live in a diverse world with diverse experiences and identities. And our kids deserve to learn about all of them, not just the ones that fit into Moms for Liberty's narrow-minded worldview.

So let's applaud Lyman High School's yearbook staff for their courage and compassion in creating a beautiful yearbook that reflects the reality of our school and our society. And let's tell Moms for Liberty to take a seat and let our kids learn about the world around them.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN A CAN OF WORMS YOU GET WHAT YOUR NEED

 

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU

OPEN A CAN OF WORMS

YOU GET WHAT YOUR NEED

In a bizarre turn of events, a protester opposed to book bans has managed to get the Bible pulled from some schools in Utah. The irony of the situation is not lost on anyone, especially considering the protester's previous statements about the importance of respecting all forms of literature.

It all started when the protester, who wishes to remain anonymous, discovered that certain books were being banned from schools in Utah. Outraged by this blatant censorship, the protester took to the streets with a megaphone and a sign that read "Books are meant to be read, not banned!"

Little did they know that their actions would have unintended consequences. As news of the protester's campaign spread, a group of concerned parents reached out to them and asked for their help in getting the Bible removed from their children's schools.

At first, the protester was hesitant. After all, the Bible is one of the most widely read books in history and is considered by many to be a cornerstone of Western literature. But upon further reflection, they realized that their principles demanded consistency. If they were going to fight against book bans, then they had to fight against all book bans, even if it meant going up against a sacred text.

So they took up the cause and began protesting outside of schools that had the Bible in their libraries. The media quickly caught wind of the story and soon it was making headlines across the country.

Many were outraged by the protester's actions, calling them sacrilegious and disrespectful. But the protester remained steadfast in their belief that all forms of literature should be treated equally.

In the end, their efforts paid off. Several schools in Utah agreed to remove the Bible from their libraries, citing concerns about separation of church and state.

The protester was hailed as a hero by some and vilified by others, but one thing was clear: they had opened a can of worms that no one saw coming. The irony of a protester opposed to book bans getting a book banned was not lost on anyone.

As one commentator put it, "Remember, one man's mythology is another man's religion." And in this case, it seems that the lines between the two were blurred beyond recognition.

Perhaps this whole debacle will serve as a lesson for us all: that we should be careful what we wish for, because sometimes we might just get it.
