Certainly. The ban is preposterous now that his books have been targeted.
Just another example of the rules are for thee, but not for me.

In so many ways the GOP's efforts to cleanse themselves of the stains they bear from embracing and defending their racists, supremacists, white nationalists and separatist militias (among other right wing extremist groups) is pretty much calling themselves expert mechanics that want to make the nation's engine run right when all they're doing is giving that engine the 'ol rattle can aerosol overhaul by spraying right wing graffiti all over it and purposely stuffing the insides of the engine with dictatorial abrasive shit that will literally destroy it.

Why don't they just go the whole hog and ban the written word entirely?

Return to a pre-literate culture. Clearly it's been downhill ever since people started writing things down.

Interesting, it seems (based solely on a quick google, tbf) to be uncertain whether Jesus could read and write.

Could Jesus Read and Write?

It turns out that the question of whether or not Jesus was literate is very much up for debate.

(I mean, plenty of people seem to prefer to communicate via links to youtube videos, so we're already part-way there.)

I'm thinking they'd start by getting rid of any words that's more than three letters long and work it down from there. Acronyms being the first to go.

Bill O'Reilly note to Ron: Hey, don't you know I am white and deny racism exists. Your ban is for "those" people.

Don't give them any ideas.

The GOP has two either/or goals for education for the masses: change it so that it teaches their propaganda, or failing that, gut it.

From what I've read, Florida has had a recent massive shortage of teachers from elementary schools on up through Universities. I haven't noticed it in my son's school but then he barely tells me what's happening (damn teenagers) so for all I know he has a lot of subs. Anyway, part of it is also that insurance costs in FL have gone bananas, but at least part of it is the bullshit Desantis and his merry band of revisionist clowns in government are doing to education. But that is all fine to Republicans....less teachers means less effective education, fine by them. The ones that leave are the ones that most disagree with the policies, so again good riddance from their perspective.

The GOP has seen like the rest of us how voting breaks down in this country R vs D: Top of the D list is college-educated women. Top of the R list is uneducated white men. The less non-Christian school education prospective voters have, the better their chances.

Oklahoma state senator is proposing a bill that would require any journalist in a media organization that includes opinions in its work to submit to the following:

Complete a criminal background check.

Receive a license from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates public utilities in the state.

Complete a propaganda-free safety training course of no less than eight (8) hours as prescribed by the State Department of Education, which shall be developed in coordination with "PragerU,”

Have liability insurance of at least $1,000,000.

Submit to drug testing every quarter.

Oklahoma State Senator authors bill to limit freedom of the press

If the Oklahoma legislature passes it, the Common Sense Freedom of Press Control Act would place more monitoring requirements and financial obligations on journalists and media outlets.

And the name of this bill? *drum roll* "Common Sense Freedom of Press Control Act".

Got to control that freedom.

And, of course, this will do nothing about out-of-state sources. Trying to tamp down the internets is a losing battle, and trying to control non-resident reporters will have limited to no success.

Stay tuned for:

Common Sense Establishment of Religion Act
Common Sense Control of Peaceable Assembly Act
Common Sense Quartering of Soldiers without Consent Act
Common Sense Search & Seizure Act

This is for journalism but not for guns? Sounds like trolling to me.

I agree with this celebration! This is where we all book a visit to one of Trump's properties on his birthday, and pee on a mattress right? Right?

You must be thinking of the “Common Sense Mandatory Guns for Everybody Act”. Forgot to mention that one.

Those common sense Republicans at it again. Yet another book pulled from school shelves. Why? Because of the authors last name

Marie-Louise Gay

These are just the kinds of people we need educating our kids.

Alabama library flagged a children's book because the author’s last name is 'Gay'

The book, “Read Me a Story, Stella,” was never removed from shelves, a spokesperson for the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library system said.

I really enjoyed this Orwellian comment from the state.

Florida Department of Education spokesperson Sydney Booker, has since pushed back on the publisher’s lawsuit, telling the BBC that it is a ‘stunt,’ adding that: “There are no books banned in Florida and that, “sexually explicit material and instruction are not suitable for schools.”

That's the punishment for saying bad things about Trump on Twitter. Not the content of your books.

The Bible has not been banned in Florida, yet it contains the following sexually explicit passages...

Dildos
“You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them.” (Ezekiel 16:17)

Marrying your sister-in-law
"If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)

Sexual promiscuity with detail
“When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts.” (Ezekiel 23:18-21)

Focus on the boobs!
“A loving doe, a graceful deer — may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.” (Proverbs 5:19)

Isaiah 66:11
That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts,
That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom.”

Cut off part of his dick
When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” (1 Samuel 18:20-30)

“Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, ‘You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me.’" (Exodus 4:25)

Incest
“Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children — as is the custom all over the earth. Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.” (Genesis 19:30)
